1This Procopius for his valiant acts, was afterward called Procopius Magnus, and had committed unto him the whole charge of the province of Moravia, and the defence of the Lutemperges: who receiving a great power by force (maugre all the whole power which lay in the siege) carried victuals into the town which was besieged, and so did frustrate the Emperors siege. The Emperor before this had delivered unto the Marquesses of Misnia the bridge and town of Ausca,2 upon the river of Albis, that they should fortify them with their garrisons. Whereupon Zisca besieged Ausca, and Frederick the Marquess of Misnia, with his brother the Landgrave of Turing, gathering together a great army out of Saxonia, Turing, Misnia, and both the Lusaces, determined to rescue and aid those which were besieged.
