Jan Hus (1369–1415), an evangelical Czech theologian based in Prague, was influenced by Wycliffe and spoke out against what he saw as abuses and corruption in the Catholic Church. He was accused of heresy, condemned to death, and burnt at the stake. Hus became a powerful symbol of Czech nationalism and the impetus for the Bohemian, or Czech, Reformation.
