=== Inquisitions in the Czech lands and Poland ===
{{Main|Inquisition in the Czech lands}}
In Bohemia and Poland, the inquisition was established permanently in 1318, although anti-heretical repressions were carried out as early as 1315 in the episcopal inquisition, when more than 50 Waldensians were burned in various Silesian cities.<ref>P. Kras, ''Ad abolendam...'', p. 416.</ref> The fragmentary surviving protocols of the investigations carried out by the Prague inquisitor Gallus de Neuhaus in the years 1335 to around 1353 mention 14 heretics burned out of almost 300 interrogated, but it is estimated that the actual number executed could have been even more than 200, and the entire process was covered to varying degrees by some 4,400 people.<ref>Malcolm Lambert, ''Średniowieczne herezje'', 2002, s. 219.</ref>

In the lands belonging to the Kingdom of Poland little is known of the activities of the Inquisition until the appearance of the Hussite heresy in the 15th century. Polish courts of the inquisition in the fight against this heresy issued at least 8 death sentences for some 200 trials carried out.<ref>P. Kras, ''Ad abolendam...'', p. 417.</ref>

There are 558 court cases finished with conviction researched in Poland from the 15th to 18th centuries.<ref>Pilaszek, Wislicz</ref>
