Translation seems pretty good, but article should be renamed John of Rokycany, since that is the name of the village (Rokycan is a different grammatical form). I'll leave it someone who is more experienced than me to do that and make a redirect and/or change links to here from elsewhere. (Visit in response to request for comment on translation).

On October 4, 1441 he convened an assembly at Kutná Hora, where the
fundamentals of Hussite belief were laid down for all. In the year 1442 he
made his peace with Jan z Příbrami. In 1444, the courts found in favour of
the Taborites, who still refused to comply with the unanimous policy and
the Tabor doctrine was decried.
  1. ) "Laid down"? It sounds like he single-handedly went off and said "This is what all the Hussites (must??) believe". Perhaps a bit more explanation of what the purpose of this assembly was?
  2. ) What was his dispute with Jan z Pribrami?
  3. ) What courts? One assumes the assembly...but it's an assumption that the assembly was also a court, and the intervening comment about Pribrami breaks the link.
  4. ) The court found in favour of the Taborites, but their doctrine was decried?
  5. ) If the Taborites refused to comply with the policy (which policy? The "fundamentals of hussite belief"?), how can it be a unanimous policy?
