WALDHAUSEN, vdlt'hau-zee, KONRAD VON: Bohemian precursor of Huss (see Huss, JOHN, HUSs1TES), b. at Waldhausen, near Gran (?0 m. w. of Vienna), c. 1320; d. at Prague Dec. 8, 1369. Of his early life and education little is known, but he must have entered the Upper Austrian monastery of Augustinian canons at Waldhausen while still a lad. He was ordained to the priesthood about 1343, and in his zeal for learning visited Bologna in 1349, being at Rome in the following year. Returning to Teutonic soil, he labored in various places, especially at Vienna, devoting himself primarily to preaching, for which he had a remarkable talent. At Prague his audiences were so large that he was obliged to deliver his sermons in the market-place instead of in the church of St. Gall; and his activity brought him into close relations with the Austrian court and Bishop Gottfried II. of Passau. The emperor summoned Konrad to Prague, where, at Easter, 1358, he became rector of St. Gall in the Old City. There he unsparingly castigated the immorality, luxury, and greed prevailing in high society, and also incurred the jealousy and antagonism of the mendicant friars whom he accused of simony, unseemly trade in relics, and shameless exploiting of the common people. In their turn they charged him with being a disturber of the peace and a renegade from his order. The Dominican general, Simon of Langres, sought in vain to arbitrate the dispute, but Konrad continued his attacks, and the matter was placed in the hands of the archbishop. The Franciscans now drew up twenty-four charges against Konrad, and in the autumn of 1360 the archbishop nailed the charges to the doors of two monasteries, bidding all who would bring accusation against Konrad to appear


before him. The monks were unable to sustain their
 charges, and the results of Konrad's preaching be
 came manifest in a marked improvement in the
 morality of Prague. In 1361 he became rector of
 St. Thomas', and in the following year invoked the
 aid of the bishop of Passau. In 1363 he was made
 parish priest of All Saints' at Leitmeritz, but was
 still permitted to live in Prague. The Franciscans
 renewed their attacks, which finally attracted the
 attention of Konrad's duke, Rudolf IV: of Austria.
 He visited Prague in May, 1364, and soon satisfied
 himself of Konrad's integrity. Konrad, however,
 declined'an invitation to return to Vienna in view of
 his association with the emperor, though he com
 posed a refutation of the twenty-four charges of his
 opponents. Early in 1365 he was placed over the
 great Teynkirche in Prague, whence, with the pope's
 permission, he extended his reforming activity not
 only over the archdioceses of Bohemia and Salzburg,
 but also urged the emperor to intervene in the des
 perate conditions in Italy. His sermons, which
 have made some consider him a precursor of
 Huss (though he attacked neither the teaching nor
 the organization of the Church), have disappeared,
 those extant being merely some that he delivered
 before students to serve as sources and inspirations
 for young priests. (J. LOSER.TH.)
