| Description | The goal of Bohemian embassy was most likely to drum up support for King Jiri of Bohemia's 'European Union,' which had an objective very similar to the Field of Cloth of Gold to make peace in Latin Christendom in order to make war on the Turks. Jiri hoped at least to keep the peace for the Hussites, a religious reform movement in Bohemia, who had been the target of a series of crusades a few decades earlier because the Catholic Church considered them heretics. The Bohemians see the important relics of each region they visited, and they also jousted at the courts of secular and ecclesiastical magnates. The Bohemians learned at the beginning of their journey, when Count Palatine Frederick I refused to receive them. The Palsgrave had taken great offence at this and took it to mean my lord had done this because he thought that the Palsgrave had no people fit to joust and tilt with Bohemians.
