OMG Hussites, Part 1


What Up, Nerds?

Did you know that there was once a Protestant revolution in east-central Europe?


Did you know that it happened a century before Martin Luther nailed his wimpy little lecture notes on a church in Wittenburg?


Did you know that it led to a rebellion of bad-ass Protestants who whupped the rest of Europe so hard that the Pope himself had to give in to them?


Do you want to know how it all started?



In this video I'll take you through the causes and the beginning of the Hussite Revolution. I'll take you through the important twists of power and fate in medieval Bohemia and I'll end us up with the event that sparked off the Hussite Wars proper.

And that means some poor sod's getting thrown out of a window.
