From the Ship of Fools site:

The reformer John Wyclif was
condemned as a heretic by the Council
of Constance today in 1415. For his
rejection of the papacy and
transubstantiation, he was burnt at the
stake and his ashes thrown in the river,
which caused him less concern than it
might, as he had already been dead for
33 years.

Would any historians around like to confirm this? It sounds extremely bizarre.
