Lollards
Lollards Followers of the 14th-century English religious reformer John
Wycliffe. They helped to pave the way for the
Reformation, and challenged many doctrines and practices of the medieval Church, including
transubstantiation, pilgrimages, and clerical celibacy. They rejected the authority of the
papacy and denounced the wealth of the Church. The first Lollards appeared at Oxford University, where Wycliffe was a teacher (
c.1377). They went out among the people as ‘poor preachers’, teaching that the Bible was the sole authority in religion. From 1401 many Lollards were burned as heretics, and after mounting an unsuccessful uprising in London in 1414, many went underground.
