I'm banging my head against the wall for not remembering them myself. Yes, Hussites could not survive permanently as small island of "heretics" in the Roman Catholic sea, but they could spread their faith. Taking into account a strong "Ethnic Slavic" undercurrent in the movement and their contacts with Poland and Ruthenia (aka Grand Duchy, with Lithuania is not quite Catholic yet), it is not hard to imagine a early "Tripartite Kingdom", with Jogaila wearing crowns of Polish and Bohemian King, as well as Lithuanian Grand Duke. We have a Slavic state with a distinct religion, spreading from western Russia (remember, guys, Moscow is a border town at this point, and Smolensk is a part of Duchy) to Sudetenland and from Baltic to Central Ukraine (Southern Ukraine is a domain of "Tatar" nomads at this point, although Europe's best infantry and best light cavalry, united under strong leadership and having sufficient religious zeal, can do something about it). It is endowed with all kinds of resources for centuries of development and plentiful population. It even has access to sea trade through Baltic. This is a very strong foundation...A strong, centralized, Hussite Bohemia, c1430
They defeat the Luxembourgs and Habsburgs and begin spreading their 'heresy' to the surrounding regions, sparking an early Reformation.
