'''Jan Hus''' (or John Huss) (1372-1415) was a preacher in Prague who picked up on the ideas of [[John Wyclif]] (or Wycliffe) (1330-1384) and spread them in northern and eastern Europe. Born in southern Bohemia, Hus harshly criticized immorality in the clergy and preached a doctrine concerning the [[Eucharist]] that was considered to be heretical.  He was excommunicated in 1411.  A Council of Constance was convened under an "antipope" (not the official pope), and this Council tried Hus in 1414 and burned him at the stake, making him a martyr.  His followers, known as [[Hussites]], fought battles against the [[Holy Roman Empire]] with surprising success.
