Pri navsteve Havlickova Brodu si kazdy musi vsimnout kostry,
ktera se nachazi ve vyklenku Stare radnice na Havlíckove
namestí.
Podle povesti v 15. století patril Havlíckuv brod, tehdy zvany
Nemecky, diky nalezisti stribra k velmi bohatym mestum. Darilo se
zde obchodu i remeslu. To velice nelibe nesli mestane ze sousedni
Jihlavy. Proto se rozhodli, ze Brod dobudou a vypleni. Podarilo se
jim podplatit mestana Hnata, ktery mel na smluvene znameni otevrit
vojsku bránu. Brzo rano, kdyz se blizili nepratele k mestu, vysly
mistni zeny prat k rece pradlo. Ty si vsimly blizíciho se nebezpeci
a svym krikem probudily obrance hradeb, kterí v posledni chvili
zabranili Hnatovi vpustit vojsko do mesta. Kdyz se utok podarilo
odrazit, prisla rada na soud nad zradcem. Hnat byl po kratkem
procesu odsouzen k trestu smrti - byl shozen z hradeb a ukamenovan.
Jeho telo bylo ponecháno v príkope. Pozdeji byla kostra vyzdvizena
a vystavena na Stare radnici, kde ji naleznete dodnes. Tak neustale
pripomina zradny cin a je pro ostatní trvalou vystrahou pred
podobnym cinem. Kazdou hodinu spolecne s veznimi hodinami odmeruje
neuprosny beh casu zvoncem ve sve prave ruce. V leve ruce pak svou
kosou s napisem Qua hora nescis ( Kterou hodinu nevís) pripomina
smrtelnost kazdého z nas.

When visiting Havlickuv Brod everyone will surely notice the
skeleton in a niche of Old Townhall at Havlicek's square.
In the 15th century Havlickuv Brod, then called Deutschbrod (German
Ford) was a very rich town thanks to nearby silver ore prospect.
Crafts and trade flourished. The legend says, that this caused
great dislike and envy in citizens of nearby town Jihlava (Iglau).
They decided to seize and plunder Brod. However it was obvious for
them, that direct strike would be futile, because Brod was
protected by massive ramparts. Jihlava citizens chose to take over
Brod by surprise and bribed one of Brod's guards Hnát to open town
gate for them just before sunrise, so that Jihlava's forces could
storm in before any of defenders would have chance to react.
Fortunately for Brod, this plot was spoiled by local laundrywomen,
who went early in the morning to wash the laundry in river near the
gate. The women spotted enemy forces and woke-up the town guards by
loud screaming. The guards quickly noticed that Hnát was trying to
open the gate for the enemy. They hastily overpowered Hnát and
prevented him from making the gate open. After skirmish with
retreating raiders, treacherous Hnát was apprehended and after
quick trial sentenced to death by throwing down the ramparts and
stoning. Hnát's body was left in a moat, but eventually his
skeleton was recovered and placed in the niche of Old Townhall as
warning to all future traitors. Every hour Hnát's skeleton has to
rings bell in his right hand, as the hand is bound to the tower
clock. In his left hand the skeleton holds a scythe with Latin
writing: "Qua hora nescis" - you don't know the hour (grim reaper
comes for you) for everyone of us to remember our mortality.
