Havel Medek of Valdek

Havel Medek of Valdek (Czech: Havel Medek z Valdeka; died 1410)[1] was a Bohemian noble. He was the son of Oldřich Medek of Valdek, the lord of Týnec nad Sázavou.[2] Havel is mentioned as residing in Týnec in 1349.[3] In 1390, Havel besieged Talmberk Castle, conquering it and capturing the lord Diviš of Talmberk. Diviš was imprisoned for seven years before the provincial courts declared Havel's seizure illegal. Diviš was ransomed and Havel returned the castle.[4][5][6]

Havel is referenced in the 2018 video game Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Before the events of the game, he is mentioned as being the captor of Lord Divish (as the game spells Diviš) and as burning down the village of Pribyslavitz (Přibyslavice).[7]
