The heroic last stand of John the Blind! ⚔️ In 1346, John of Luxembourg, King of Bohemia, despite being blind since 1336, insisted on fighting in the Battle of Crécy. Chronicler Jean Froissart recounts how he and his bodyguard tied their reins, with the King leading the charge, striking four blows before they were all slain at the front line. Their bodies were found the next day, still tied together around the King.
