1396 CE to 1539 CE

George of Poděbrady, later to become the "national" king of Bohemia, emerges as leader of the Utraquist regency.

George installs a Utraquist, John of Rokycany, as archbishop of Prague and succeeds in uniting the more radical Taborites with the Czech Reformed Church.

The Catholic party is driven out of Prague.

Ladislas dies of the plague in 1457, and in 1458 the Bohemian estates elect George of Poděbrady king of Bohemia.

The pope, however, refuses to recognize the election.

Czech Catholic nobles, joined in the League of Zelená Hora, continue to challenge the authority of George of Poděbrady until his death in 1471.
