Diviš of Talmberk


Diviš of Talmberk was a Bohemian noble and lord of Talmberk.

Biography

In 1390, Diviš gained control of Talmberk Castle. The castle was soon after besieged by Havel Medek of Valdek, who conquered Talmberk and captured Diviš. Diviš was imprisoned for seven years before the provincial courts declared Havel's seizure illegal, and Diviš was able to ransom himself and reclaim the castle. In 1401, he moved to Prague as burgrave of Prague Castle.
Diviš died some time in 1415. His son, Oldřich of Talmberk, succeeded him as Lord of Talmberk.
