Years: 1439 - 1439

Olesnicki has opposed the spread of the dissident Hussite religious movement in Poland, using royal forces under Hińcza of Rogów to defeat the Hussite nobles under Hińcza of Rogów on May 3, 1439, near the village of Grotniki Duże near Nowy Korczyn.

The defeat of the Protestant forces marks the end of Hussite movement in Poland.

Olesnicki’s appointment in this year as the first Polish cardinal by Pope Eugenius IV further strengthens his position.
