The Battle of Písek was a final pummeling of the eastern Habsburg forces that had sought to ouster Wallenstein from Bohemia with the initial siege of Tabor, which became the Battle of Tabor. Under direct leadership of Wallenstein and Gustav Adolphus, Bohemian and Swedish troops attacked and drove back the Austrian invaders. In a series of skirmishes in and around Písek, it became clear to Gustavus Adolphus that Wallenstein would not be allowed to remain neutral for the duration of the war, should the Habsburgs not be taught a sound lesson.
