Polish fantasy writer, Andrzej Sapkowski described the battle in his novel, Lux perpetua.
The novel is part of a trilogy, which takes place in 15th century Silesia, during the Hussite Wars.
The short description of the battle is not connected with the main plot.
Sir John Fastolf is shown as a comical figure who wins the battle thanks to rumours he may have heard about the Bohemian heretics and their commander, Jan Žižka ( whose name he pronounces as " Sheeshka ").
Fastolf, feeling hopeless in the face of the enemy, forms his wagons into a wagenburg and surprisingly wins.
