Biography
Hanuš was the third son of Henry III of Lipá. He is first documented in 1397.[1]
Hanuš, his father, and his brothers were placed in charge of Rataje nad Sázavou after the death of Jan Ješek Ptáček of Pirkštein. The heir of Rataje nad Sázavou, Jan Ptáček of Pirkstein, was not yet of age. In 1403, Hanuš welcomed Racek Kobyla of Dvorce and some survivors of the attack by Sigismund of Hungary on Stříbrná Skalice into Rataje nad Sázavou.[2]
Hanuš was often in debt, and so from his seat in Rataje nad Sázavou orchestrated attacks on the royal estates.[3] This earned him a reputation as a robber knight.[2]
On February 1, 1412, Hanuš was ordered to pass his holdings to Jan Ptáček of Pirkstein, the rightful heir, though he remained in control of the village of Senohraby.[2] In 1415, he was noted as being Supreme Marshal of the Kingdom of Bohemia.[1] He died later that year.[3]
Family
Hanuš married Markéta of Šternberk. They had one daughter, Kateřina.[3]
In popular culture
Hanuš features prominently in the video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance as Sir Hanush of Leipa.[4]
