Jan Hus was a Bohemian religious thinker and reformist, born in Southern Bohemia in 1369. He initiated a religious movement based on the ideas of John Wyclif, whose followers became known as Hussites. The Catholic Church did not condone such uprisings, and Hus was excommunicated in 1411 and burned at the stake on July 6, 1415.
Today, a statue of Jan Hus can be seen at the Prague old town square, the Starometske námestí.
