Explanation: In the 11th century AD Duchy of Bohemia, many crimes were punished with exile - itself not unusual in pre-modern judicial systems.

... but interestingly, the destination for many of these crimes is specified as exile to Hungary, specifically.

Is there a worse fate a Czech could imagine!?
