Pavel Kravar

The cross in the roadway nearby marks the site of the Mercat Cross at which, on 23 July 1433, Pavel Kravar (also known as Paul Craw), an emissary of the Hussites of Bohemia, was burned at the state for heresy. At his trial he defended himself with skill and courage, but was nevertheless condemned and died, it was said, with a brass ball stuffed in his mouth to prevent him addressing the people.
