When naming the fifteenth-century heretics in Bohemia, the contemporaries used a variety of terms including Wycliffites and Hussites. This chapter suggests that terminological developments in the first third of the fifteenth century reflected changing discursive as well as political circumstances. It shows how linguistic usage reacted to both church politics between the councils of Constance and Basel and theological treatment of heresy within the framework of anti-Hussite polemical campaign.
