Wenzel IV arrested by Bohemian nobles
1385
The inept Luxembourg king of Bohemia was briefly detained by his own magnates, who complained of his drinking, neglect of government, and favoritism toward a foreign wife. He was released but the episode presaged a pattern of baronial rebellions that would weaken the Bohemian crown for the remainder of his reign.
