    During 1524-1526 many peasant revolts occurred within the German states primarily caused by the confusion of Lutheran teachings and ideologies. In documents 1, 3 and 6 demonstrate how the peasants unified through Lutheran teachings and how it was used to explain the German serf uprising. In an official report from Leonardo Von Eck clearly states that the peasant’s demands come from “the word of god” in which shows that the peasant revolts root cause comes from Lutheran teachings and that religion is the driving force of these revolts since it led to a retaliation against the oppressor which are the lords and nobility (Doc.1). Leonardo Von Eck a chancellor of Bavaria a clearly a noble would likely be a biased view since he is trying to protect his own class from the peasants and also because he is more concerned in maintaining order and peace since he is a government official also but thus he also expresses a factual fact about the driving force of the peasant uprising. Another source that will reconfirm the views of Von Eck is from a group of Swabian peasants in which visibly asserts that god had renew them and given them the inner strength to stand up for themselves since it was a shame that they had to serve as slaves but also iterates their willingness to obey religious powers (Doc 3). The demands of the Peasant parliament of Swabia that was written in the Articles of the Peasants of Memmingen to the Memmingen Town Council is a reliable source since we can presume that these views are the same views of the serfs of that region. In document 6 a source who is…

    However the radicals (the group of people that did not want the church and state together) began to interest German peasants with their ideas of social change. Since the 15th century, the peasant’s conditions have worsened and the failure of crops in 1523 and 1524, and nobles began to anger peasants requiring extra work and taking livestock. The peasants believed that Luther will be on their side, and in the beginning, he was. He was against the lords for robbing their own subjects. However, he did not want a rebellion, as Luther states, “...Remembering that nothing can be more…

    In the sixteenth centenary the Roman Catholic Church was the ruling power in Europe. They had created an empire and controlled the land and the people. There was nothing more that people feared at this time than being excommunicated from the church. For this reason, people would not dare challenge the church as they feared going to hell. A man by the name of Martin Luther joined the Catholic church as he searched to find himself and save his soul. He quickly realized that the Catholic church was full of corruption and took a stand. Martin Luther wanted to expose the church and follow God the right way. Luther believed that faith alone and a change of heart was enough for a person to be saved from the hell. Martin Luther had a conservative way of thinking however he had many liberal ideas.…

    Tired of having to abide by the church’s long held doctrines which unfortunately enabled Henry to follow. Unable to annul his incompetent marriages (as he saw them) Henry sought only to break ties with the church passing with the of the Act of Supremacy, but the English bishops, Thomas Cranmer, in particular, the Archbishop of Canterbury at the time, pushed the newly freed church into the Protestant reformation. Now that Henry, and Thomas Cranmer, had unadulterated power and control of England they began passing as many controversial acts and injunctions they could to separate their state from Rome (e.g., dissolution of monasteries throughout the English state). While monasteries were being dissolved by the Church of England the abolition of a number of feast days, "the occasion of vice and idleness" which, particularly during harvest time, had a direct effect on village life.…

    Martin Luther's Address of the Christian Nobility was written in 1520 in Germany. This was the beginning of the Protestant Reformation of which he was very involved. It was during the Renaissance and people were beginning to second guess the catholic church. Especially princes of lands because they did not like having to be under the ultimate rule of a “Holy Roman Emperor.” This would become important to Luther's journey because, after he was deemed a “criminal” and had to keep on the move, these nobles would offer his shelter in their castles while he fought to live and spread what he believed to be the true Gospel.…

    Life in Europe changed dramatically in the sixteenth century. The church was extremely powerful and central to all parts of the lives of Europeans, but the events that took place during this new reformation would challenge that. Once the church was challenged, change was almost immediate. What once was a unifying force split, and although a period of violence and unrest followed, it was a major turning point in history sparked by Martin Luther and the posting of his 95 Theses. Martin Luther was born in 1483 during the time of the Renaissance when there was a growing attitude of rejecting medieval values and a turn towards education, humanism, and other more classical values (Class Lecture, 2/22/16).…
