In 1410, Archbishop
Zbyněk Zajíc of Hazmburk threatened to declare
interdict over every scholar who refused to give up their writings of
Wycliffe. After the evaluation, the books were deemed heretical and were burned at the archbishop's courtyard.
King Wenceslaus IV ordered the archbishop and his subordinates to compensate the book owners. When they refused, the king tasked Wok and
Racek Kobyla with confiscating their property. That year, Wok received a congratulatory letter from
John Oldcastle after a number of protests resulting from the burning of books written by Wycliffe. In 1412 Wok was the leader of a crowd that publicly burned
papal bulls regarding
intercession on the
pillory of Prague. In 1415, he protested against the condemnation of
Jan Hus by the
Council of Constance. ==Notes==
