He took part at the war against Ottomans in 1443, but he was not mentioned as a participant of the Battle of Varna, where the king died. He returned to Moravia, where he owned the castle of Hukvaldy. He probably died in 1452. A record from 1453 states that Jan Čapek's widow sold the Hukvaldy estate to her son-in-law Jan Talafús.
