The Bohemian Reformation (c. 1380 to c. 1436) was the first concerted effort by Catholic clergy to reform the abuses and corruption of the medieval Church. Bohemian clerics and theologians called for reform and, like later advocates, initially had no intention of breaking with the Church until the martyrdom of Jan Hus in 1415.

Jan Hus (also John Huss, l. c. 1369-1415) was a Czech philosopher, priest, and theologian who, inspired by the work of John Wycliffe (l. 1330-1384) challenged the policies and practices of the medieval Church and so launched the Bohemian Reformation.

The Burning of Jan Hus and the Birth of Reform
On July 6, 1415, the Czech reformer Jan Hus was condemned and executed by burning at the stake at the Council of Constance. A priest, philosopher, and preacher from Bohemia, Hus had become one of the most influential critics of clerical corruption and the moral authority of the medieval Church. His sermons, inspired in part by the ideas of John Wycliffe, called for reform, simpler worship, and greater accountability within the Church.
Hus refused to recant his teachings even under pressure from Church authorities and the Holy Roman Empire. His death shocked many in Bohemia and ignited widespread outrage, eventually fueling the Hussite Wars in the 15th century. Long after his execution, Hus came to be seen as a symbol of religious conscience and resistance to institutional power, foreshadowing the broader currents of the Protestant Reformation.
Réforme de Bohême
La Réforme de Bohême (c. 1380 à c. 1436) fut le premier effort concerté du clergé catholique pour réformer les abus et la corruption de l'Église médiévale.
