Taborites. The extreme party of the Hussites, so called from their fortified stronghold south of Prague to which they gave the OT name of Mount Tabor (Jgs. 4: 6–14). They gained the ascendancy after the death of King Wenceslaus (1419) and, under their leader Z̆iz̆ka, began to spread the ‘Kingdom of God’ by force of arms. They split into two parties after Z̆iz̆ka's death (1424): the more moderate joined the Catholics after the Compactata of Prague (1433; see
UTRAQUISM); the radicals were defeated at Lipany in 1434 and lost influence, though some elements of their tradition were inherited by the
Bohemian Brethren.
