When the new town of Tábor was founded by the Hussites in 1420, Jan's brother Oldřich also moved to Tábor and Planá belonged to the Tábor rule until 1547. After the battle of Mühlberg , King Ferdinand I was given a free hand by his brother Emperor Charles V to suppress the Bohemian uprising and his punitive measures against the rebellious city of Tábor included the confiscation of the Tábor rule.
