Mainz — Not random

Will happen on June 2, 1455

Description

The Reformation had a great impact on the peasants of Germany, providing a pretext for liberation from the oppression of the nobility and landlords. Large-scale peasant uprisings broke out in Swabia, Franconia, Thuringia, and the Rhine. Hundreds of thousands of poorly organised commoners fell at the hands of the armies of the nobility. Large areas were devastated, and the unrest was condemned by the leaders of the Reformation.

Description

After becoming Archbishop of Magdeburg and administrator of Halberstadt, Albrecht of Brandenburg began an expensive campaign for the Archbishop-Electorate of Mainz. In order to gain the money needed, he borrowed a large sum from the Fuggers and let the dominican monk Tezel sell indulgences in his domains (which was the actual cause for the protest of Martin Luther). Having obtained an extraordinary permission of the Pope and the Emperor to hold such a multitude of titles and fiefs, he succeeded to the Archbishopric-Electorate on March 9th 1514, which gained the Hohenzollern family a second vote in the electoral college and made them the second dynasty in the Empire.

Action A of 100 - Reformation for all countries

Description

After receiving checked for heresy and forwarded Luther's letter, Leo X responded over the next three years, ''with great care as is proper,'' by deploying a series of papal theologians and envoys against Luther. Perhaps he hoped the matter would die down of its own accord, because in 1518 he dismissed Luther as ''a drunken German'' who ''when sober will change his mind''.

Actions

A. Luther will change his mind...

• Change religion to counterreform

Action A of 179087 - The Swabian League for Austria

Description

Due to the aggressive policies of the House of Wittelsbach aiming at the extension of the duchy of Bavaria at the expenses of neighbouring countries and the strong independence claims of the Swiss subjects opposing the imperial rule, the princes of South-West Germany and Austria formed a league with military defensive purposes, such as the preservation of the imperial status quo. Supporters of the Swabian league were Frederick V of Austria, Eberhard VI of Wirtemberg and Berthold I Archbishop of Mainz, the latter saw this a a first step towards the realization of his planned reform of the Reich's administration.
