The Blind King that fought in Battle
John of Bohemia, also known as John the Blind or John of Luxembourg, was the King of Bohemia from 1310 until his death in 1346, and had previously served as the Count of Luxembourg from 1313.
After contracting ophthalmia while on a crusade with the German Teutonic Order in 1336, John was left blind, but continued to fight in battles and was highly skilled in combat.
In 1346, John led his troops into the Battle of Crécy, despite his blindness, as part of the French army's campaign against the English during the Hundred Years' War. He fought valiantly, but ultimately lost his life in the battle at the age of 50.
John was renowned for his bravery and determination in battle, as well as his love of hunting and patronage of the arts, particularly music.
Despite his blindness, John was able to fight in battle with the assistance of a group of knights who rode with him and served as his guides. He relied on his other senses and their descriptions of the enemy's position and movements to engage in combat.
According to some accounts, John even tied his horse's reins to those of his guides, allowing them to lead him into battle. His example serves as a testament to the resilience and determination of the human spirit.
