	Hussite - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The entire Hussite nobility joined the league, and if the king had entered it, its resolutions would have received the sanction of the law; but he refused, and approached the Roman Catholic League of lords, which was now formed, the members pledging themselves to cling to the king, the Roman Church, and the Council.
		The views of the moderate Hussites were represented at the university and among the citizens of Prague; therefore they were called the Prague party; they were also called Calixtines or Utraquists, because they emphasized the second article, and the chalice became their emblem.
		The Hussite tradition was revived in the early 20th century by a movement of radical Roman Catholic clergy and lay people, who supported reforms such as the use of the Czech language in the liturgy and the removal of compulsory clerical celibacy.

		The nobles, who though favorable to the Hussite cause yet supported the regent, promised to act as mediators with Sigismund; while the citizens of Prague consented to restore to the royal forces the castle of Vyiehrad, which had fallen into their hands.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Hussites
		The distinctive tenet of the Hussites is the necessity, alike for priest and layman of Communion under both kinds, sub utraque specie whence the term Utraquists.
		For example, on 25 January, 1417, when some fanatical country parsons had destroyed the images and profaned the relics of their churches, the university, in virtue of the teaching authority it claimed, sent to all the faithful an exhortation to abstain from innovations and to hold fast to old customs.
		The declaration had been given in answer to questions by members of the Hussite league, and it was acted upon, wherever they ruled, with such thoroughness that the Utraquist clergy was insufficient to fill the places of the ejected Catholic priests.

	Hussites
		Victory followed upon victory, as Hussite armies, which were composed primarily of peasants and burghers, repeatedly defeated knightly hosts many times their number.
		That the foes of the Hussites never defeated them had much to do with their unwillingness to change their tactics, for they relied almost exclusively upon the charge of the men-at-arms, which was the least effective way to cope with Zizka's system.
		By 1436 the Hussite wars were over, Sigismund reigned in Prague and the country returned to the bosom of the Church.

		The latter, the Hussites said, recalled scenes of suffering, and so was an emblem of gloom; the former, the cup, was the sign of an accomplished redemption, and so a symbol of gladness.
		Ziska won battle after battle, and apart from the character of the cause of which he was the champion, he may be said to have deserved the success that attended him, by the feats of valor which he performed in the field, and the consummate ability which he displayed as a general.
		The spirit with which the Hussites contended, combining that of confessors with soldiers, was wholly new in the armies of that age.

	Hussite -- DBA 176
		The enemies of the Hussites include the Later Hungarian (#166), Later Imperialists (#167), and (after the death of their founder, Jan Ziska, in 1424) they split into several factions that fought against each other as well, so a Hussite army could also be opposed by another Hussite (#176) army.
		From examining the Hussite army in DBM army book 4, it seems that the Hussites were active in two periods, the first being from 1419-1434, and the second from 1464-1471.
		First, expand the Hussite period to be 1419-1434 and 1464-1471 as it is listed in the DBM army book 4.
