However, he did not succeed in capturing any town or fortress. The lords of Meygelon flooded the river called the Pot, causing it to overflow onto the field where the emperor and his army were camped. The emperor and his troops barely escaped drowning. Additionally, a great plague struck the army, particularly affecting the Bohemians, resulting in an innumerable number of deaths. | Jacobus Twinger von Könishofen: Chronik 1870-71, p. 491 | Translation by ChatGPT-3.5 |
