Thomas Müntzer

German preacher and theologian (c. 1489 – 1525)

Thomas Müntzer
Thomas Müntzer (c. 1489 – 27 May 1525) was a German preacher and theologian of the early Reformation whose opposition to both Martin Luther and the Catholic Church led to his open defiance of late-feudal authority in central Germany. Müntzer was foremost amongst those reformers who took issue with Luther's compromises with feudal authority. He was a leader of the German peasant and plebeian uprising of 1525 commonly known as the German Peasants' War. In 1514, Müntzer became a priest in Braunschweig, where he began to question the teachings and practices of the Catholic Church. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_M%C3%BCntzer
