The Hussites are a Christian movement following the teachings of Czech reformer Jan Hus (c. 1369–1415), who becomes the best-known representative of the Bohemian Reformation and one of the forerunners of the Protestant Reformation.
This predominantly religious movement is propelled by social issues and strengthens Czech national awareness.After the Council of Constance lurres Jan Hus in with a letter of indemnity, then tries him for heresy and puts him to death at the stake on July 6, 1415, the Hussites fight the Hussite Wars (1420–1434) for their religious and political cause.Among present-day Christians, Hussite traditions are represented in the Moravian Church, Unity of the Brethren, and the refounded Czechoslovak Hussite churches.
