Résumé
The Chalice and the Sword: Jan Hus, Jan Zizka, and the War That Broke a Crusade In 1415, a Czech priest was burned at the stake for insisting that Scripture, not Rome, held the final word on matters of conscience. Bohemia's answer was war, and for the next two decades, an army of peasants, artisans, and blind generals did something no other force in medieval Europe had managed: they defeated five papal crusades in a row.
This is the full story of the Hussite revolution, from the Western Schism that first cracked papal authority, through Jan Hus's martyrdom at Constance, to Jan Zizka's wagon forts breaking armies of professional knights, to the catastrophic afternoon at Lipany when the movement finally turned its own weapons on itself. It traces the Four Articles of Prague from manifesto to battle cry to negotiated compromise, and follows the thread forward, through Martin Luther's startled discovery that he was "a Hussite without knowing it, " to a Czech nation that, five centuries later, would inscribe Hus's dying words onto the standard of its own president.
