John Wycliffe's bones were exhumed in 1428 by the Council of Constance, which was convened to address various heresies, including those associated with Wycliffe's teachings. His remains were dug up and burned as an act of condemnation, reflecting the Church's efforts to suppress his ideas and discredit his influence. This act symbolized the conflict between emerging reformist ideas and established ecclesiastical authority during that period.
