Hochebuz (Polish: Chociebuż) is a town in Cintra.[1]
History[]
In 1232, Queen Calanthe waged her first major battle here, the aptly named Battle of Hochebuz, against the southern enemy of Nazair. She admitted herself that it was a trivial battle, fought over money and nothing more, but three thousand troops died there. Though in the years to come, songs were sung in her honor about it.[1]
Trivia[]
- Chociebuż is the Polish name for the east German city, Cottbus. It is called Chóśebuz in Sorbian, a local Slavic minority language.
