[c. 1355 – 28.9.1410]
John Sokol of Lamberg, son of Jaroslav of Kninice and friend of Racek (in KCD Radzig) Kobyla, was a Moravian military leader who held the position of provincial Hetman. He played an active role in the internal disputes of members of the Luxembourg dynasty and was on the side of Wenceslas. Once the king was liberated, he rewarded Sokol by giving him the village of Horky and Castle Skalice near Kostelec in Bohemia. In 1404 John fought against Sigismund of Luxembourg at Znojmo.
As a member of Wenceslas’ cohort he met Jan Žižka in 1409 and together they battled against the Rosenbergs. He fought on the side of the Polish-Lithuanian coalition during the battle of Grunwald. After the battle he appears to have been poisoned during a banquet hosted by the Polish King Wladyslaw II Jagiello.
