Jan Hus at Constance
archetypes
Bohemian priest who preached scripture and against church abuses in Czech to the common people; given safe conduct to the Council of Constance; safe conduct broken; tried, condemned, burned; later inspires Luther a century on. Failure mode: None on Hus's part. Restoration path: Speak in the common tongue against the abuses; accept the trial when safe conduct is broken. Markers: preaches in the vernacular; named church abuses; granted safe conduct, broken; refuses to recant under threat; execution seeds the next reform a century later — Jan Hus at Constance, Bohemian, 1369-1415 (History)
