Henry of Skalitz [ 📊] Maple Hospital 🍂

Henry lived in the tranquil village of Silver Skalitz, training to be a blacksmith under Martin, his father, at their forge. In between lessons, he'd often go about horsing around with his friends - Fritz, Matthew, and Matthias - while wooing Bianca, the local alemaid and his sweetheart. He eventually begins learning the basics of warfare and sword fighting in secret by Vanyek, much to his mother's disapproval During Unexpected Visit, Henry and his father finish making a masterwork sword for their liege lord, Sir Radzig Kobyla. Henry soon learns that, in addition to being a skilled swordsmith, his father had some talent in sword fighting as well. Henry longs to venture into the outside world, so he asks his father to teach him how to defend himself, but Martin refuses, preferring him to settle down with a nice girl, learn his blacksmith's trade, and keep away from trouble However, this peaceful life was soon to be interrupted. In 1403 a Cuman army commanded by Markvart von Aulitz, one of King Sigismund's lieutenants, attacked and destroyed Skalitz - becoming an event later known as the Sack of Skalitz - as revenge on Sir Radzig for sending valuable silver and his continuous loyalty towards King Wenceslas IV, Sigismund's deposed half-brother and the rightful king of Bohemia
