Nearly 600 years ago, Tábor was home to the Taborites, a sect of the reformist Hussite movement ruled by Jan Žižka, hero of the lengthy Hussite Wars. Every year, the sleepy South Bohemian town hosts a festival where reenactors play the historical roles that put Tábor on the map: warriors, religious radicals, noblemen, and mercenaries. Here are some photos from the festival on September 11-13.
