church said.

• He disliked that monks had many money and
didn’t live how the Bible said.
• He wanted a great reform of the church.
• He was burned 6th July 1415.
• Some people disliked the burning of Jan Hus.
• They liked him, and usually, they were the
people which listened to him at his sermons.
• They made up association they called the
Hussites, a group of people which respected the
opinions of Jan Hus and wanted to live like he
said.
• They’re leader was Jan Žižka from Trocnov.
• Because the Hussites needed a place that was
their, a city where they could live the style we
wanted, so the built Tabor.
• There was a rule, now a communist motto, that
everyone had everything. The people put money
into bowls next to houses, and the whole city
had everything together.
• The city was above the Lužnice river, and built
in the year 1420.
• The first crusade against Hussites in 1420
started when Zikmund Lucemburg had attacked
Prague with his army hired from Vratislava
and took the castle and Vyšehrad.
• The Hussites with Jan Žižka went into the
battle at Vítkov, with Zikmund Lucemburg’s
troops called the Templar Knights.
• That battle won for the Hussites, and soon they
started to take over cities from 1421. That was
the beginning of the ‘Prague Union’.
• At the autumn of 1421, Jan Želivský organized
a new crusade against Hussites and to this
crusade joined in the armies of Zikmund
Lucemburk and Albrecht Habsburk.
• They attacked on moravia. Luckily, the
Hussites were there and the evil armies ran off
to Germany.
• On spring 1423 Jan Žižka’s disputes with the
church ran to extreme. New battles started and
the Havelska Coalition formed against Žižka.
It’s army failed in June 1424 in the battle at
Malešov.
• At 11. October 1424 Jan Žižka from Trocnov
died at the journey to the battle on Moravia with
Zikmund Lucemburk.
• After, the Hussites had some new general,
called Jan Hvězda, which helped to peace with
the Prague Union, which wasn’t all the time
friendly with the Hussites. He became a High
Prague Governor.
• He soon went to battle against Ústí Nad
Labem, which was led by a margave.
• From 1427, the Hussites started not only to
defend the Czech Republic but also started to go
to Austria,… and they not only defended the
people, but also became a belligerent against the
other armies.
• 1427 was also the third crusade which
organized margrave Fridrich, but the Hussites
won again.
• Also started preparing for another crusade.
• The last Hussite war was at Lipany at May
1434.
• This time the Hussites divided to two parts.
• One still fought against Templar knights, the
other united with them.
• The war at Lipany was the last war for the
Hussites which weren’t with Templar knights.
• 5th July 1436 was written a peace declaration.
