Medieval (Jan Žižka or Warrior of God[9]) is a 2022 English-language Czech historical drama film directed by Petr Jákl.

Wenceslas has received the throne after his father Charles IV, but his reign is not as successful, and the kingdom seems to fall apart under his weak rule.

Torak and his men burn Žižka's home, kill his nephew and kidnap his brother Jaroslav to swap him for Katherine.

Katherine is taken to Rosenberg's castle while Žižka and his men find mortally wounded Boresh.

Torak gets the upper hand but Katherine throws herself off the castle wall to the river to save Žižka.

An epilogue states that Sigismund became king of Bohemia after his brother's death but the people revolted against him.

Sigismund then orchestrated crusades to Bohemia while Žižka led outnumbered peasants.
