The Battle of Německý Brod took place on January 10, 1422, in Německý Brod (German: Deutschbrod). The Hussites besieged 2,000 Royalist Crusaders. The Crusaders were no match for the Hussites and Německý Brod was quickly taken and sacked. A Royalist arsenal and supply train, numbering some 500 wagons, was captured, one of the largest amounts of loot that the Hussites would take throughout the whole war.
