The study focuses on how Lawrence of Březová constructed the narrative of the Hussite events in his Chronicle, which is the most important historiographical source describing the first years of the Hussite period. The question is how Lawrence approached the communities he addressed, which tools he used to define a community of moderate Hussites in relation to other groups (Catholics and Hussite radicals).
