Hussites

By nessie

The Hussite rebellion was the true beginning of the Reformation. Luther was a late comer. The Hussites also pioneered the armored war wagon which they used in squares as a sort of portable fort. For details see Medieval Warfare by Terence Wise, Hastings House, Publishers, New York 1976, pages 17-18 and 130-2.
