Čestibor (Latin: Zistibor[1]) was a 9th-century King of the Lusatian Serbs (Sorbs). He was a vassal of Louis the German and in 856 led the Sorbs into battle alongside King Louis against the Glomacze tribe, defeating them and putting them under German rule. Shortly thereafter in 859, the Sorbs uprise against Čestibor and kill him, rebelling against King Louis.[2]
