| biography:
| Religious reformer, born in Prague, Czech Republic. He studied at Prague and Oxford. A friend and collaborator of John Huss, he also became a disciple of Wycliffe, and zealously spread his teachings after returning to the European mainland (1401), but in each city the ecclesiastical authorities forced him to move on. From the Sorbonne (1405), he moved to Heidelberg and Cologne (1406), Vienna (1410), and Kraków (1412). He was arrested in Bavaria in 1415, and taken to Constance, where he was condemned as a heretic to burn at the stake. |
