The Lollards

Check it out...it's the Lollards, no, not some 'crazy' new electro-punk-wtf crossover band, but a group dating back to the 1300s and recognised as 'the first recognised critics of the established Church since the fifth century.'
QuoteThe Lollards who followed Wyclif derived their name from the medieval Dutch words meaning 'to mutter' (probably reflecting their style of worship, which was based on reading the scriptures).

Can any Dutchies shed light on this? Come on, I know you're all big students of medieval history!

Amused me, anyways. Ok, maybe momentarily for about a micro-second.
