Thereupon followed the complete rout of the remainder, who fought in their position on the mountain. The greater part took flight to the gate of Strahov, among them the elder Anhalt. The Moravians fought the longest, a small band led by the younger Thurn and Henry Slik. Being surrounded on a place called the Star, they fought as long as they could, and almost all were killed or taken prisoners. The field of battle was covered with 6,000 slain ; the entire camp of the Bohemians fell into the power of the enemy.

Meanwhile, when the battle began, the rival king sat in the castle at a banquet with lords and ladies. A messenger came from Anhalt to remind him that he should hurry to the field of battle for the greater encouragement of his men to bravery. But Frederick did not think the matter so pressing, and went to his dinner. At the gate of Strahov he was met by the wild flight of his soldiery, who sought a refuge in Prague.
