The idea of the Lollards or Hussites causing an early Reformation is a semi-recurring idea, but I wanted to see just how realistic this idea is. As it seems that, of the two, Hussitism seemed to have a better chance of success, I'll focus more on it.
One of the most frequent objections to the idea of a Hussite Reformation is that they lacked one crucial tool that the OTL reformers had, that being the printing press. Also, Hussitism seems to have been pretty unpopular among the nobles and leaders, and it's difficult to say who would have possibly supported the movement.
That said, I wouldn't entirely dismiss the idea, I just wanted to look at the difficulties they'd face.
