Miller, DouglasA MIGHTY FORTRESS OF GOD: The Siege of Munster 1534-5 Vividly retells the 16-month siege of Munster by Franz von Waldeck's forces, revealing the determination of Anabaptist defenders amid religious and political upheaval. Readers are taken step by step through the critical phases of the siege: the construction of earthworks, the organization of defenses, and the increasingly desperate attempts by both sides to break the deadlock. From the failed attacks of 1534 to the dramatic betrayal that finally led to the collapse of the Anabaptist defense in June 1535, this account illuminates a key moment in Reformation-era history. Also explores the motivations, leadership, and ideologies of both the besiegers and the besieged, offering an unparalleled insight into the complexities of the Anabaptist movement and its tragic end in Munster. The text is supplemented by specially-commissioned artwork of clothing and flags, as well as detailed appendices providing, amongst other things, the Bishop's Articles of War, and details of the costs of the siege. Contains 57 black and white photos & illustrations, 8 pages of color plates, and 7 color maps.1 vol, 152 pgs 2024 UK, HELION AND COMPANY NEW-pb, available late November 2024 ......$43.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our 16TH CENTURY
