Timeline

1434Lipany · BohemiaThe Bohemian noble coalition defeated the combined Taborite and Orphan forces at Lipany, and radical leaders such Prokop were killed. This battle greatly weakened the resistance of the most radical military forces within the Hussite movement, creating conditions for subsequent political negotiations.
1434–1436Basel · BaselBohemian representatives and the church side repeatedly negotiated at the Council of Basel over the Eucharist, clerical life, and other issues. The moderate Utraquists, who advocated retaining communion in both kinds while acknowledging papal authority, laid the foundation for the final compromise text.
1436Prague · PragueIn 1436 the Bohemian parties accepted a compromise: Sigismund was recognized as king, and the church recognized the Utraquists' legal status in Bohemia. The Hussite Wars thus came to an end at the institutional level, and Bohemia entered a relatively stable period of 'two faiths coexisting'.
