George of Poděbrady
The situation was somewhat improved by the rise of George of Poděbrady, and although George of Poděbrady tried to reduce the power of the church, Jan Rokycana supported his election through his lectures. From the beginning, Jan endorsed George of Poděbrady's politics and had all churches ring their bells to mark the reconciliation of the Vratislavskys. In return, George of Poděbrady considered him to represent the church and alternated between attending Jan Rokycana’s masses and those in Saint Vitus Cathedral.
