Zazdený radní
Brno nebylo nikdy dobyto, ale ne že by se o to nepokoušeli všemi možnými zpusoby. Ješte pred Torstensonem, za husitských válek, mesto obléhali Sirotci. Vetší oddíly odtáhly k Porta Coeli a u Králova pole zustaly jen ty menší. Meštané se o nich však dozvedeli a necekane je prepadli a porazili. Velitel poznal, že mesto bude muset dobýt lstí. Domluvili se s prívrženci z rad meštanu. Ti jim slíbili otevrít Veselou a Drevenou bránu. Jenomže neotevreli. Všechno to domlouvali v Hradci Králové, a tam byl i Boro, šašek krále Zikmunda. O všem se dovedel a v prestrojení se dostal zpet do mesta Brna na radnici a ptal se. „Kde máte ty zrádce, co chteli vydat Brno, už se vrátili?“. Hned v noci svolali na radnici poradu a zatkli šest radních. Všechny ihned popravili. Vedl je prý nejaký Haas, jeho hlavu vystavili pro výstrahu na radnici. Sochar podle ní pak vytesal kamennou kopii a tu zazdil u zadní brány. Vydržela tam dodnes.

Walled councillor
During the Hussite Wars Hussite troops came to Brno and wanted it to conquer. But because the city was protected by thick walls, they had to secretly gain some burghers on their side to open them the city gates. About this conspiracy learned jester of Emperor Sigismund Boro, who betrayed everything at City Hall. All six councillors - traitors - were arrested and executed, and the head of the main conspirator called Haas was impaled on a pole and displayed as a warning to the town hall. After some time, according to the head, made some sculptor from stone copy of main conspirator and put it into the wall next to the rear entrance to the (now old) town hall in Mecová (EN: Sword) Street, where it is till the present day.
