After months (even years) of mystery for the Kingdom Come: Deliverance community and even passionated of History regarding the exact location where Lord Racek Kobyla was killed on the night of February 2, 1416, in Kuttenberg (Kutna Horá in Czech Republic), here is a very old text that indicates the precise spot. For a long time, I searched for the exact location of his death for the research and art.
It was thanks to the unique and rare book by Jitka Jelínková on the local legends of Kutná Hora that I was able to find this information.
This very old text is a XVIth-century account that describes Racek Kobyla's last days (like a kind of itinerary) and what he was doing.
In reality, there is a contradiction between this account and modern sources. Racek Kobyla was never there to collect taxes, but rather to quell religious tensions between Hussites and Catholics at the request of King Wenceslas IV. There are even more details about what happened, such as the fate of his horse, which was brutally slaughtered in public.
The exact address of the inn where Racek Kobyla spent his last night is this : Jungmannovo náměstí 492/6, 28401 Kutná Hora-Vnitřní Město, Czechia.
It's a very old building located east of Kutná Hora in the rather poor medieval section of the town. (Ironically, in the game KCD2, it's quite close to the location of the inn The Hole in the Wall.)
Here is the text from the book based on the 16th-century report:
"On the road leading from Jungmann Square to Rudní Street, there is a house called U Kobyly. Above the entrance, a bas-relief depicts a white horse with a black bridle.
An old legend tells the story of this house and Mr. Racek, who stayed there during his mission:
At the end of the reign of King Wenceslas IV, Kutná Hora was also affected by religious disputes between supporters of the Hussites and the Papists. The miners, the aldermen, and the German branch of the miners were loyal to the Pope, while the Director of the Mint, Petr Zmrzlík of Svojšín, some mine and mint officials, and a large part of the Czech population, were, by their convictions, on the side of the Hussites. Disputes between the two sides were commonplace. In the year 1416, the king sent his courtier and tax collector, Racek Kobyla, from Dvorec to Kutná Hora to try to reconcile the two divided factions and suppress a possible rebellion. He and his entourage stayed in the aforementioned house.
At that time, miners in the town were fighting; a dispute broke out, and bloodshed threatened. Racek stepped forward amidst the enraged miners and temporarily prevented the confrontation.
However, that evening, he was attacked by a frenzied mob, unhorsed, and savagely murdered. His assailants are said to have then buried his dismembered body in a mine shaft.
They even entered the house and mercilessly slaughtered his servants. Only Bořita of Ostředek survived, reportedly hiding in a foul-smelling barn and thus escaping death. Even the Racek's horse did not escape punishment: it was stabbed on the spot, and the executioner buried its remains outside the town. From then on, the inhabitants of the house could no longer sleep; night after night, they were awakened by shrill neighing and the pounding of hooves. But in the morning, silence returned, and the horse was gone. The situation continued for some time, until the city appeased the king's anger and redeemed itself by executing several miners and making a large donation to the royal treasury."
