Jan Hus

To spare the city of Prague from the consequences of a papal interdict, Jan Hus voluntarily left the capital in October 1412. During his two-year exile, he found refuge primarily in southern Bohemia, where he stayed in the castles of his friends. During this period, he engaged in extensive literary activity, producing numerous treatises in Czech and Latin, including his significant work De ecclesia (The Church) and a collection of sermons titled Postilla.12
