The Heretic

4.2(303)

In 1421, John Page, knight and mercenary captain, has fled the war in France. Driven by hatred of the church, he journeys to Bohemia to join the Hussites. Condemned as heretics, the Hussites dare to defy the might of the Catholic church and the Christian princes of Europe. The Pope orders their destruction, down to the last child, and the brutal subjugation of their country. Page aligns himself with the Hussites just as another crusade is launched against Bohemia. Led by the merciless King Sigismund, the Dragon of Prophecy, the crusaders will drown the land in blood rather than let heresy prevail. Bohemia's only hope lies in Jan Zizka, a blind soldier of genius, and his army of peasant soldiers.
