Jan Hus was a religious thinker and reformer, born in Southern Bohemia in 1369. He initiated a religious movement based on the ideas of John Wyclif. His 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. He was condemned by the Council of Constance.
Today, a statue of Jan Hus can be seen at the Prague old town square, the Starometske námestí.
