Hussites as a political group in Bohemia and inner divisions

Glavni namen diplomskega dela je predstaviti husite in njihovo politično delovanje. Ti so se kot verska in politična skupnost oblikovali na Češkem v 15. stol. Cilj je predstaviti njihovo politično delovanje v času po smrti Jana Husa in v času husitskih vojn. To je predstavljeno z opisom raznih zborovanj, koncilov in sinod na katerih so bili prisotni husiti in njihovi nasprotniki ter z opisom ostalih husitskih političnih dejavnosti, ki so se zgodile v času husitskih vojn. Politično delovanje husitov je večinoma izhajalo iz njihovih verskih prepričanj. Pri opisu političnega delovanja je zajeto delovanje husitov proti kraljevi avtoriteti, v tem primeru proti kralju Vaclavu IV. in kasneje cesarju Sigismundu ter predstavljena so nekatera notranja nasprotja med posameznimi skupinami znotraj gibanja. Ta notranja nasprotja so večinoma izhajala iz razlik v verskih prepričanjih posameznih skupin. Kot zadnji politični akt husitov je predstavljeno sprejetje Baselskih kompakt.The primary purpose of this thesis is to present the Hussites and their political activities. The Hussites began as a religious and political community in Bohemia in the 15th century. The aim of the thesis is to present their political activity in the period after the death of Jan Hus and during the Hussite wars. This is presented by describing various assemblies, councils and synods at which the Hussites and their opponents were present and by describing other Hussite political actions that took place during the Hussite Wars. Hussite political aims were mainly based on their religious views. The description of political actions covers the Hussites\u27 actions against royal authority, in this case against King Vaclav IV. and later Emperor Sigismund and it presents some of the internal conflicts between the various groups inside the movement. These internal conflicts were mostly rooted in differences in the religious beliefs of individual groups. The last described political act of the Hussites in this thesis is the adoption of the Basel Compact
