The Sirotci ("Orphans"; German: Waisen), officially Orphans' Union (Czech: Sirotčí svaz), were followers of a radical wing of the Hussites in Bohemia. Founded in 1423 originally under the name Lesser Tábor, it consisted mostly of poorer burghers and some members of the lower aristocracy who joined with the commander Jan Žižka and the eastern Bohemian Hussites, the so-called Orebites (Orebité).
Banner used by Orphans (hypothetical colors)
After Žižka's death (1424), "orphaned" combatants adopted their new name. From 1424 to 1428, they were led by the priest Ambrož of Hradec and then by another priest, Prokop the Lesser. HejtmanJan Čapek of Sány was elected as their military commander (1431–1434).
