Taborites

The Taborites (Czech: Táborité, Czech: singular Táborita), known by their enemies as the Picards, were a faction within the Hussite movement in medieval Lands of the Bohemian Crown. Although most of the Taborites were of rural origin, they played a major role in the city of Tábor's union. Taborite politics were also encroached upon by their priests. The most important Taborites included the governors Jan Žižka of Trocnov, Mikuláš of Hus, Bohuslav of Švamberk, Chval Řepický of Machovice, Jan Roháč of Dubá and the priest Prokop Holý. The main center of the association was the town of Tábor.
