Who was the English clergyman and Archbishop of Trier Otto von Ziegenhain that led the Battle of Tachov?
Battle of Tachov The Battle of Tachov (German: "Schlacht bei Tachau" ) or Battle of Mies (German: "Schlacht bei Mies" ) was a battle fought on 4 August 1427 near the Bohemian towns of Tachov ("Tachau") and Stříbro ("Mies"). The Hussites won over the armies led by the Cardinal Henry Beaufort of England and Archbishop of Trier Otto von Ziegenhain.
Capture of Bacharach The Capture of Bacharach took place on October 1, 1620 at Bacharach, Electorate of the Palatinate. The conflict was between the Spanish forces commanded by Don Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba and the Protestant forces of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, during the Palatinate campaign in the context of the Thirty Years' War. After a quick start of the invasion of states of Frederick V, proclaimed King of Bohemia, the operations slowed in mid-September, after the Capture of Oppenheim. Don Ambrosio Spinola, the Spanish general in command, assessed at a council of war the choice between undertaking the siege of Heidelberg or, secondarily, the town of Bacharach. The Spanish officers decided to take Bacharach due to the small number of Frederick's scattered forces. On October 1, Córdoba captured Bacharach with a force of 2,500 soldiers, forcing the Anglo-German defenders to surrender.
