 Jan Žižka - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Žižka, as leader of the Taborites, defeated the men of Prague and the Utraquist nobles at Hořice on April 20, but shortly afterwards the news that a new crusade against Bohemia was being prepared, induced the Hussites to conclude an armistice at Konopiště on June 24, 1425.

 Communion under Both Kinds
Now the Utraquist interpretation would suppose that in verse 54 Christ meant to emphasize the distinction between the mode of reception "by eating" and the mode of reception "by drinking", and to include both modes distinctly in the precept He imposes.
In I Cor., xi, 28, to which Utraquists sometimes appeal, St. Paul is concerned with the preparation required for a worthy reception of the Eucharist.
From the verse immediately preceding (27) a difficulty might be raised against the dogmatic presuppositions of the great majority of Utraquists, and an argument advanced in proof of the Catholic doctrine of the integral presence and reception of Christ under either species.

The Utraquist consistory was ready to present its sacerdotal candidates to the archbishop for ordination, but there his authority was to end.

Sometimes called "Hussitist" (a usage David attacks for exaggerating Hus’s role; "Utraquist" is the Latinized form of the Czech name it adherents used) this Bohemian church administered its institutions and educated and managed its clergy independently of Rome for the next two hundred years.
At the same time, the Utraquists pursued their orthodoxy by disputation rather than hurling anathemas and lived alongside Lutherans, the Unity of Brethren, and others.

First there were the Utraquists, a name derived from the Latin word for ‘both’, signifying the use of both the bread and the wine at communion.
Attempts at suppressing the Utraquist Hussites provoked the rise of the more radical Taborites who founded a community called Tabor (which may still be found on maps today) named after a place in the Bible.
The Utraquists won out in this conflict and as moderates, were soon accommodated by the authorities, merging with other pre-Protestant groups to form Unitus Fratrum, a predecessor of the still extanct Moravian Bretheren.
