The Moravian Margrave Wars were a turbulent period of fighting, skirmishes, robbery, and lawlessness that took place especially in Moravia between 1381 and 1405. Initially a dispute between brothers Jobst and Prokop of Luxembourg, it developed into a greater power struggle within the House of Luxembourg. Through the involvement of their cousins Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia, Sigismund of Luxembourg, and John of Görlitz, fighting spilled out of Moravia and into several proxy wars within neighboring kingdoms.
