HUSSITES

The Hussites were followers of John Huss in Bohemia during the early 15th century, whose demands prefigured many elements of the Protestant Reformation . The agitation for Czech independence and church reform began well before the burning of Huss at the Council of Constance in 1415. These goals, articulated in his teaching, became vital causes that inspired a national movement when he was martyred.
