Wenceslaus Hajek (1499–1553)

Born 1499 CE, died 1553 CE.

Wenceslaus Hájek of Libočany (Czech: Václav Hájek z Libočan, German: Wenzeslaus Hagek von Libotschan, Latin: Wenceslaus Hagecius, Wenceslaus Hagek a Liboczan; late 15th century – 18 March 1553) was a Bohemian chronicler. He was author of famous Bohemian Chronicle (1541), also called the Hájek's Chronicle. This work served as the main source of Czech historical and national consciousness until the end of the 18th century, when numerous errors and fabrications contained in it were recognized.
