PEOPLE

Jan Vitovec
(in German and Latin sources is spelled as Witowec, Wittowezc, Wittobecz).
Vitovec took part in Hussite wars. During the Habsburg-Cilli war (1439-1443) was on the service of the latter. He recruited a mercenary army composed of ex-Hussite fighters and became commander in chief of the Cilli forces. He conquered several castles in 1439-1440, and invaded Carniola in 1442-1443.
Cilli was on the side of Ladislaus the Posthumous.
In 1441 Vitovec defeated Stefan Banić in battle.
In 1446, after the death of Matko Talovec, the Counts of Cilli claimed the banate of Slavonia. In war with the heirs of Matko Talovec (the fighting took place until 1447), Vitovec was injured in the Hrastnica clash in 1446 - a shot from his handgun damaged one of his eyes. Vitoved defended successfully against Hunyadi's attacks, until a peace was agreed in 1447. After the death of Ulrich of Cilli in 1456, Vitoved took part in the civil war that ensued. Aligning with Matthias Corvinus, Vitovec was then appointed as Ban of Slavonia in 1457. In 1465-66 Vitovec led Corvinus' army against the Turks in Bosnia.

Jan Jiskra z Brandýsa
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jiskra_of_Brand%C3%BDs
(German: Johann Giskra von Brandeis; Hungarian: Jiskra János; c. 1400 – c. 1469)
Jan Jiskra came from the Moravian branch of the noble family Páni z Brandýsa (Lords of Brandýs), he was possibly a son of Alšík z Brandýsa. Apparently, fought as mercenary in Italy in his youth. Following the Battle of Lipany, Jiskra, together with other Hussite soldiers, joined the army of Emperor Sigismund of Luxembourg and fought with Turkish troops in the region of Belgrade. He sided with Ladislaus the Posthumous, accompanying her mother.
Jiskra, who was bestowed upon by the queen dowager with the High Captaincy of the mining towns of Upper Hungary and Kassa (Košice) as well as Zólyom Castle (Pustý hrad) remained a supporter of the young Ladislaus V against King Władysław III of Poland and the estates of Hungary.
Using Hussite tactics he occupied Lőcse (Levoca), Bártfa (Bardejov), Körmöcbánya (Kremnica), Selmecbánya (Banská Štiavnica), Eperjes (Presov), Késmárk (Kežmarok) in a short time. He minted coins in the name of King Ladislaus, and successfully interrupted Wladyslaw's line of communication with Poland. In the life of Elizabeth, Jiskra successfully defended Upper Hungary against the attacks of Wladyslaw and his allies, John and Nicolaus Perényi.
Around 1455, Ulrich II, Count of Celje in order to strengthen the position of his party invited Jiskra and his mercenaries back to Hungary.
In 1457 he assisted in the arresting and execution of Ladislaus Hunyadi and helped to fight the ensuing rebellion after the execution.

When the younger Hunyadi brother Matthias Corvinus proclaimed king after the death of Ladislaus the Posthumous, Jiskra first supported him thanks to the mediation of George of Poděbrady, but shortly after he disobeyed Matthias orders and his mercenaries started to marauding again.
