The Czech nation agreed, but the other three nations declined. The king then decreed that the Czech nation would have three votes in university affairs, while the "German nation" (composed of the former [[Bavaria]]n, [[Saxony|Saxon]], and [[Poland|Polish]] nations) would have one vote in total. Due to the change in voting structure by May 1409 the German dean and rector were deposed and replaced by Czechs. The [[Rupert, King of Germany|Palatine Elector]] called the Germans to his own University of Heidelberg, while the [[William II, Margrave of Meissen|Margrave of Meissen]] started a new [[University of Leipzig|university]] in Leipzig. It is estimated that over one thousand students and masters left Prague. The emigrants also spread accusations of Bohemian heresy.{{sfn|Fudge|2010|pp=97–100}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
