In the early 15thcentury, the bitter religious divisions that would create Protestantism were beginning to take shape. A century before Martin Luther would nail his theses to the church door in Wittenberg, a few brave men were calling for church reform. As the pressure mounted, the papacy fought back hard, and heretics started to be executed by bur...
The greatest leader of this revolt was a military veteran named Jan Zizka. Born into the gentry around 1378, he became a professional soldier. During his career, he had fought against the famed and dreaded Teutonic Knights at Tannenberg in 1410 and later lost an eye while in the service of King Wenceslas IV.

Aside from Zizka’s leadership, the greatest weapon in the Hussite arsenal was the war wagon. Hussite armies took war wagons with them wherever they went. Protected by hoardings and planks, bound together with iron, these hardened wagons were circled before battle. The horses were unhitched and the wheels interlocked, forming a fort on any battlefie...

Over the next few years, further crusades were launched against the Hussites. Led by a priest named Prokop, the Hussites drove back the crusaders in 1426 and 1427. But it was clear that the attacks would keep on coming. The time had come to go on the offensive. Starting in 1428, the Hussites began raiding their neighbors in Hungary, Saxony and Sile...
The Hussites were still able to defend themselves well. When Sigismund launched his fifth crusade in 1431, the rebels united and drove him back, the mere sound of their battle hymns putting the crusaders to flight. But trouble was coming. Two factions among the Hussites, the Taborites and the Orphans, fell out over the spoils of their raid into Sil...
