Hussites

In 1431 the Council of Basel (see Basel, Council of) was called to settle the dispute, and the Catholics, as a concession to the Hussites, agreed to allow the celebration of Communion in both kinds in Bohemia. This concession largely satisfied the Utraquists. The Taborites, however, refused to compromise, and they were eventually defeated by a combined force of Utraquists and Catholics at the Battle of Lipany in 1434, at which Procopius was killed.

Under John Rokycana, the leader of the majority of Hussites after Procopius's death, the Hussites achieved virtual autonomy within the Catholic church, becoming the national church of Bohemia. Rokycana was made archbishop of the Bohemian church in 1435, and in 1436 he signed the Compactata of Prague, the agreement that ratified its status. Many Hussites became Lutherans in the 16th century, but the Catholic Hussites retained their autonomy until 1620, when orthodox Roman Catholicism was reimposed.
