Who Was Lord Hans Capon - Kingdom Come Deliverance History

Hans Capon was a young Bohemian nobleman and the heir of the market-town of Rattay.
He is based on the real life character of Jan Ptáček (see codex below), and going off the dates in the codex, he is approximately fifteen years old during the events of the game.

1388? - 1419

The underage son of Jan Ješek Ptáček and Hedvika of Dauba. After the death of his father, his family, the Lords of Leipa - his uncle Jindřich (Henry) and his son Hanuš (Hanush) and his brothers, became his guardians. Young lord did not take possession of Rattay (and hereditary estate in Polna) until 1412. Soon afterwards he entered political life and he held positions in the provincial offices.

After the imprisonment of Master Jan Hus he signed a petition in his defence, but during the Hussite wars he was initially on the side of the League of Lords against the Hussites in a few minor battles (in 1419 he took part in a battle against the Hussites at Knin), apparently due to the influence of his close neighbor Lacek of Kravař of Šternberk. There are no records indicating he took part in the war later. His son was Hynek Ptáček, who achieved high office in the Kingdom of Bohemia, becoming Royal Hofmeister and Mince Master.
