The council that wanted Luther to recant his 95 Theses

. He was like "I'm not gonna recant" and then they issued the Edict of Worms and he went into hiding with Fred the Wise

They used Luther's priesthood to say that if they were equal before God they should be equal economically/socially. Luther was like nahhhh you guys can't do that. (Was being protected by fiscal/political conservative nobleman Fred the Wise)

Pope Paul III starts this to examine why people are switching to protestantism and Paul IV continues it to make serious church reforms to start the Counter-reformation. Pretty successful because the church is still around, but at the same time, it didn't exactly stop Protestantism.

Ttensions were getting kind of high. Catholic forces of HRE Charles V fight Schmalkaldic Lutheran Princes. Ends in Peace of Augsburg

"cuius regio, euius religio" He who rules, his religion. Basically, you can choose between lutheranism and catholicism BUT NO CALVINISM

Started out because Defen of Prague & Calvinism was left out of Peace of Augsburg, and people were not happy.

Franz Joseph (nephew of Emperor Ferdinand) comes in and cracks down, reasserting ancien regime and Hapsburg dominance.

Begins in Florence due to funding by super rich Medicis and position as a wealthy merchant/trading city.

City-state structured that encouraged fierce city-state pride and loyalty. Within city-states, merchant and upper class ruled behind the scenes, though there were various forms of Signoria and popolo attempts at stablilizing rule

Medici family ruled. They were powerful because they got an early in on the banking industry because they could lend with interest. Florence also had money from trading and merchant stuff. Brunelleschi's Dome and Ghiberti's Baptistery doors

He was the son of Pope Alex VI. He was used as the model for the face of Jesus. Machiavelli liked him because he thought that he had the cunning and guile it would take to unify and rule Italy. His ideal Machiavellian monarch!

He ruled Florence for a while, also known as Lorenzo the Magnificent. He was the head of the Medici family and gave tons of money for arts and humanities in Florence

He was a Dominican monk who said the Medicis and Florence and Italy were basically corrupt and bad, calling for the kick out of the Medici family. Bonfire of vanities - destroying art and books and stuff because it's EVIL!!! Medicis are exiled, but everyone realizes Savvy is crazy, and they call them back. Then they kill him

"Reorganization" - they are attempting to come up with a way to reorganize and potentially unify the Italian peninsula. started with carbornari (coal burners talking on beaches) They really just want to be without foreign influence (Austrians in Lombardy, Venetia, Milan and Bourbons in Kingdom of the Two Sicilies). 3 Groups: Mazzini's Young Italy, Sardinians, Neo Guelfs

Unification movements failed because they were divided groups with different ideas. YI wanted democracy. Sardinians wanted constitutional monarchy. Neo Guelfs wanted Catholic theocracy.
