| Description | The author returns to the discussions about the character and historical significance of the Hussite Revolution (from Palacký through Pekař, Slavík and marxism to the present) and seeks to show the significance of King and Emperor Sigismund in the process of ending the revolution. The article follows his path from an unyielding supporter of the annihilation of heretics by crusades to his acceptance of the endeavour of Hussite “political leaders“ to renew the negotiations with the Church concerning the recognition of the basis of the Hussite programme (Four Articles of Prague) at the Council of Basel. Hussitism is regarded here as a religious and political conflict, where war is significant as a continuation of politics and diplomacy as a continuation of war. The article is part of the author’s research on the political system in the Czech lands in the 15th–17th century, for which the Hussite period is decisive. The system of the joint reign of the estates and the ruler was formed for a long time here. |
