Conciliarism is the theory of the supremacy of the Council over the papacy. The study investigates whether such ideas were known in Bohemia. It traces the environment of the court of Wenceslas IV, ...the role of the University of Prague, Hussitism with its Wycliffian definition of the Church, and the period after the conclusion of the Compactata and during the reign of George of Poděbrady. The knowledge of conciliarist theories in Bohemia is a fact, even if their development and application did not take place on Bohemian soil. The Czech lands were not a fertile ground for Conciliarist ideas, yet at certain moments the Czech environment reached for Conciliarist arguments.

Their gradual removal from ...the ranks of members of the University of Prague concluded the search for the schoolʼs profile. By 1462, it had become a well-defined Utraquist institution linked to the Church through communion under both kinds. The episode is an example of the politization of the activities of masters, particularly in academic self-administration.
