Wyclif's followers, the Lollards, were also branded heretics. |
The Lollards were followers of Wycliffe, at first composed of his supporters at Oxford and the royal court. |
After Wycliffe's death, nearly thirty years passed before the authorities persecuted the Lollards with any severity. |
The exception was a widespread underground movement, the Lollards. |
Some Lollards, however, continued to operate underground in a loosely organised but often deep-rooted way. |
The Lollards were the most significant heretical group in England before the Reformation. |
