Thomas Müntzer ☠ Character in The Broken Path | World Anvil

Thomas Müntzer ☠

If you are unwilling to suffer for the sake of God, then you will to be martyrs for the devil
— Thomas Müntzer on the even of the Battle of Frankenhausen, 1525
 
Müntzer was an Almain preacher and theologian in the mid 16th century. He was an early proponent of Protestantism, but found Martin Luther too conservative. Müntzer was openly defiant of the authority of feudal authority and became one of the chief leaders in the early stages of the Great Peasants' War.   He was seen by many as being a bit too radical. Chiefly, he fervently believed that the end of the world was nigh and that it was the job of true believers to help God usher in a new era of humanity.
