Who did Müntzer confront with his militia?

  • Viking raiders

  • Late-feudal authority

  • The Roman legion

Answer

The answer to this question lies in the socio-political context of 16th-century Germany. Thomas Müntzer, a prominent figure of the Protestant Reformation, led a militia composed of peasants and miners, challenging the established late-feudal authority. This confrontation stemmed from deep-seated grievances against the oppressive social and economic conditions imposed by the ruling elites.
