Which of these was NOT a direct consequence of Christian III's reforms?

  • Increased Trade

  • Expulsion of Bishops

  • Peasant Rebellions

  • Closure of Monasteries

Answer

**Expulsion of Bishops:** This was not a direct consequence of Christian III's reforms. Instead, the Danish Reformation led to the secularization of church property and the introduction of Lutheranism as the state religion. The bishops, who had previously held significant temporal power, were stripped of their authority and replaced by superintendents appointed by the king. This marked a significant shift in the relationship between church and state in Denmark.
