The Drought after Doctor Johánek Was Drowned

Of low water, on the other hand, it is related under the year 1393, when Saint John of Nepomuk was drowned. Such a drought is said to have set in then that at Podskalí people crossed the river on foot and only in a few places laid planks down. The water was all green and no one would take it for cooking, the millers could not grind for want of water, and the people murmured against the king, saying that all this had happened because Doctor Johánek had been drowned.
