The History of the Fulneck Settlement can be traced back to the Proto Protestant reformer Jan Huss.

His teachings that the Bible should be translated into vernacular tongue (In this case Czech), his opposition to Simony (which was widespread at the time) and the existence of Purgatory led to his being excommunicated, deemed a heretic and burnt at the stake in 1415.
