The Protestant Reformation 1/4 - Luther

[@karlmarx7333]

I especially like that your doing this about midway through your Italian wars series, as it adds some extra context/related content. You provide some of the best historical content out there. Also, does anybody know the name of the chad who beat up Tetzel?

[@pikeshotBattles]

Bingo! That's why I'm doing it like this.

[@kamo93]

The man who beat Tetzel never existed, is a legend

[@pikeshotBattles]

Finally its out!

[@stuys69]

Awww yesss! Seriously though, massive cheers once again for the effort and poise of another great video, couldn't of asked for a better topic either considering the clarity you've already thrown over the Italian wars! Am already loving your work thus far and really hope you press on till your inevitable rise to prominence! Either way a huge salut and thankyou to ye, you brilliant Transylvanian bastard!

[@Franciscavid]

you are very good at this. really hope that you may have the option to do this full time due to success

[@d.esanchez3351]

Your channel is everything I want. As a history student doing a thesis on the reign of Charles V in the Americas and a presbyterian teaching church history in my local church... this Channel is just perfect. I really hope to see new videos soon. Thanks for covering this fantastic period with such good work.

[@MesiterSode]

It has begun.

Suggestions for next videos: Battle of Alcácer Quibir 1578 Poland-Lithuania Commonwealth history series

[@htoodoh5770]

What about Sigismund of Luxembourg king of Hungary and later king of Bohemia and Holy Roman Emperor?

[@arbutusunedo6866]

Let me suggest a much harder one: History of the holy roman empire up to the french revolution, with all its internal divisions, ruling noble families, cities and feuds..

[@htoodoh5770]

@@arbutusunedo6866 I think you need to wait until he is more ready. HRE in the waning was a complete mess.

[@arbutusunedo6866]

@@htoodoh5770 Yes you are right.. But HRE must be done by someone.. There is virtually no documentary about it, which is a shame.. Ollie Bye did a HRE documentary, but it was too compressed to be meaningful... Maybe one way out is to take a slice in time.. For example, take the year 1500 or 1600 and ivestigate all the domains, laws, princedoms, ruling families, ongoing feuds, trade routes etc of that year.. All on maps.. An even smaller project may be a detailed history of hansa..

[@sahhaf1234]

And in the background runs the italian wars... 1483: luther born 1494: italian wars start 1512: battle of ravenna 1513: battle of novara 1515: battle of marignano 1516: luthers 95 theses 1521: diet of worms 1525: battle of pavia 1527 sack of rome etc.. So reformation and italian wars are sort of interwoven... Is there any other event during this period of european history which goes parallel with reformation+italian wars? maybe ottoman attack to hungary? Do italian wars and reformation affected each other?

[@pikeshotBattles]

Yep... Ottoman invasion and Portuguese and Spanish colonization going on simultaneously, all affecting each other. I mentioned the Reformation in Italian Wars 9, and also the Italian Wars will come up in Reformation 2, 3. But the main thig is that with the Reformation, wars will become more ideological and less dynastic.

[@MrRobfullarton]

1519 tenochtitlan is conquered by Cortez and his army, 1526 Ottoman's destroy Louis of Hungary's army at Mohacs, Swiss Reformation begins under Ulrich Zwingli, Francois is building his epic hunting lodge of Chambord and the Bible is being translated in English by Tyndale, etc...all these events happening in a age to be alive in!

[@MrTristanryan]

I really enjoy your content, fascinating period, looking forward to seeing more in the Italian War series and whatever else you turn your attention to. Keep up the good work mate!

[@TheLocalLt]

Don’t like showing the HRE states +Spain as independent. The only ones independent were the ones in rebellion, and only during their years of rebellion or foreign occupation. The status quo in the empire was as a state, Voltaire notwithstanding. The habsburgs controlled the affairs of all the states, except ones in Union with a foreign crown, until Prussia broke from Poland and turned its Brandenburg territory into one of those in union with the “foreign” Prussian crown. But before that the emperor dominated the states aside form those in rebellion, even the protestant ones as long as they weren’t siding militarily against him

[@blendix6413]

Very good quality video!

[@Von_Der_Tann]

You had me at Baldrick!

[@johnga911]

Thanks as always for the amazing content you put out. The production quality's really through the roof. Oddly enough I remember Richard Popkin, in his History of Scepticism (great book btw), saying that Savonarola was another almost-maybe-Reformation moment. He says that Savonarola was interested in opening the pandora's box of a systematic critique of church authority - and even that shortly before his death, he was promoting some of the first translations of ancient sceptical texts (I believe Sextus Empiricus), which would have such a massive importance in the debates between Luther and Erasmus, Lutherans and Calvinists, etc.

[@pikeshotBattles]

Savonarola was probably informed by Waldensianism, but calling him a pre-peformer... Idk... The Reformation was very much a conservative and right wing movement (with the exception of Anabaptists). Can that be said for Savonarola? Maybe if we apply a medieval horseshoe theory...

I love how the narrator casually indulges in discrimination of gays and people who are less able than others. But at least he doesn't pretend that lowborn people are more honest or dutiful than highborn people.

"luther never intended to start a heresy" sounds a bit sus to me. What did he intent by burning the papal docs?

[@goyonman9655]

To challenge the heresy of papal infaliability

[@MrRobfullarton]

"Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive, but to be young it was very heaven!" William Wordsworth, I apply it to the Reformation!

[@pikeshotBattles]

We are living in very similar times.

[@MrRobfullarton]

@@pikeshotBattles I wish it were true. No its the exact opposite, its an age of decline and of tragedy, akin to the sacking of Constantinople it wont be pretty! As TS Eliot stated "not with a bang but with a whimper!"

[@vojtechsulc5899]

Keep up the good work!

[@carmenfernandez5396]

Luther refused to change claiming to have to be true to his conscience. But when other theologians, Catholics and reformers refuted his ideas, and were also persecuted and also preferred to remain in their convictions for reasons of conscience, Luther did not respect them, it is more encouraged their persecution and deaths. Therefore, Luther, although highly relevant in that it is an opening to the doctrinal monopoly and because of the political repercussions of his reform, but not for that reason liberating, he was quite intolerant and defender of the stratified society.

[@goyonman9655]

There is nothing wrong with stratification We are only concerned with ascertaining doctrinal truth

[@carmenfernandez5396]

@@goyonman9655 Are you saying there is nothing wrong with stratification in the context of Luther, meaning ancient regime, feudal society? In any case, I am not addressing religious doctrine in my comment at all, I leave that argument to believers. My comment goes about the portraiting of Luther as a liberal figure, he wasn't a liberal political figure.

[@goyonman9655]

@@carmenfernandez5396 To Luthers credit, he was not liberal I hate when people try to present him as such

Tetzel was correct in his two points about indulgences, obviously

[@arandomwalk]

Nice one!!!

[@itarry4]

If you thought Luthers dad was annoyed by his turning to the church its nothing compared to the Pope and nearly all of Europe...

[@itarry4]

It's difficult to totally say that the English Lollards weren't successful OK their actual movement didn't stick but the Hussites used Wycliffe ideas so it was their spark that took. I guess it depends how you view things.

EXTRA ECCLESIAM NVLLA SALVS

[@ingold1470]

Is predestination the reason why historically Protestant countries are so obsessed with motive? If being saved causes good works rather than the other way around, then you stop caring about actions and seek only to purity test. I'm no theologian but it seems to line up rather well.

[@htoodoh5770]

What if John never died and thus the Habsburgs never gain Spain and the new world.

[@dylanclark4017]

I’ve really liked the rest of your videos, but this one is basically just you supporting the Reformation and saying how trash the Catholic Church was. Perhaps consider that in your new videos.

[@Raadpensionaris]
