Biography (revised, rough translation)

Jan Želivský (Born 1380 (?) in Humpolec (?); Died 9th March 1422 in Prague) was a radical Hussite priest, and was one of the leading personalities of the Hussite movement alongside Jan Žižka and Jan Hus.

Since 1418 he was a ??medal man??, and later became a priest of the Prämonstratenserklosters, but is only well-known in the Southern Bohemian (=südböhmischen?) Želiv (dt. Seelau) and after 1416 to the Pfarrei in Jiříce. Since 1418 he preached in Prague at the church of St. Stephen and from 1419 in the church of the Virgin Mary. His radical-social lectures were agreed upon by the people and led to Zelivsky becoming a leader of the people.

On 30 July, 1419 he led his congregation to the city hall in Prague, demanding the release of Hussite prisoners; this ended with the First Defenestration of Prague. Due to the events it came to the radicalization of many Prague citizens, the First Defenestration of Prague is regarded as the beginning of the Hussite Wars. Želivský was selected as one of the four main leaders of the Hussites and later as councilman(?) of the insurgent(?) Hussites.

From 1420 the Hussite movement began to gain power, and became very popular with the people. The movement used this to destroy its opponents. With the course of the Prague and Taborites to East Bohemia he already had some command of the army, so also with the course after Brüx. With the synod on 4 July, 1420 he finally received absolute power in Prague, this however led to many envious people and caused distrust. Gradually opposition grew against him. At the beginning of February 1421 stepped a commission into the life, which already (??entmachtete??) it on 5 February, 1421 and left to it only few competencies. In 1422, on the instruction of Jacob von Mies, Jan Zelivsky was arrested and on 9 March 1422 he was executed. Želivský's successor was Jacob Vlk.
