Daliborka tower was used as a prison and was named after its first prisoner Dalibor of Kozojedy, who was imprisoned for supporting serfs of another squire. According to the legend he learnt to play the violin there and this legend gave rise to the Czech proverb "Nouze naučila Dalibora housti", which might be compared to the British "necessity is the mother of invention".
