Many of his works were condemned at the synod held at Blackfriars, London, in May 1382; and at Oxford his followers capitulated, and all his writings were banned. That year, Wycliffe suffered his first stroke at Lutterworth; but he continued to write prolifically until he died from a further stroke in December 1384.
Who Burned John Wycliffe?
The word was originally associated with particular Christian fraternities who were thought to be excessively and falsely pious. In the spring of 1428 a group of churchmen dug up the bones of Wycliffe and burned them. This grisly enterprise was carried out at the instruction of Pope Martin V.
What happened to Wycliffe and Hus?
Jan Hus was called before the council to defend his views, and soon after, on July 6, 1415, he was burned at the stake. John Wycliffe had died in 1384 following a stroke. In 1415 his writings were banned and he was declared a heretic. In 1428 his body was disinterred and burned.
