9038historical_info = flavor_eng.98.historical_info When John Wycliffe died, he was buried in a churchyard, however, over 40 years after his death, a Catholic Church council declared him a heretic. This resulted in his body being exhumed, and his bones were burned. This act did not eliminate his influence, instead, Wycliffe's ideas continued to gain followers who would come to play a significant role in the early reformist movements in England.
