Context

Medieval — Kingdoms rise, faith spreads, castles and codices. That's around 588 years ago — deep history, roughly 6 centuries in the past. Around the same time, the world was also seeing St. Bernardino of Siena (1380) and Hubert van Eyck (1385).

Why it matters

Wycliffe's Bible is remembered because its consequences outlasted the moment — the people affected, the decisions it forced, and the way it reset the story of what came next.

Did you know?

Just 2 years before, St. Bernardino of Siena (1380) was also making headlines — a reminder how much history can compress into a single decade.
