Jan Čapek Of Sány
Jan Čapek of Sány (; 1390, Sány – 1452, probably in Hukvaldy) was a Czech Hussite noble, general of Władysław III of Poland. Biography He fought as a cavalry commander at the Battle of Lipany in 1434, and has been condemned for fleeing the field. Čapek was first mentioned in Hungarian sources as a leader of Władysław’s Hungarian-Polish army, which around 15 June 1440 occupied Győr, a territory belonged to Elizabeth of Luxemburg and her son, Ladislaus the Posthumous. He might be the leader of the army when Władysław crossed the borders of Hungary for the crowning ceremony, as he was the elected king of Hungary at this time. He took part at the war against Ottomans in 1443, but he was not mentioned as a participant of the Battle of Varna, where the king died. He returned to Moravia, where he owned the castle of Hukvaldy. He probably died in 1452. A record from 1453 states that Jan Čapek's widow sold the Hukvaldy estate to her son-in-law Jan Talafús.

The style corresponds somewhat to the '' Biedermeier style'' in the German-speaking lands, Federal style in the United States, and the Regency st ...
