 From the 16th century, the Lollard movement is sometimes regarded as the precursor to the Protestant Reformation.Wycliffe was accordingly characterised as the evening star of scholasticism and as the morning star of the English Reformation.Wycliffe's writings in Latin greatly influenced the philosophy and teaching of the Czech reformer Jan Hus ( 1369–1415), whose execution in 1415 sparked a revolt and led to the Hussite Wars of 1419–1434.
