The uprising broke out at Stuhlingen and
spread to cities all over Franconia, Swabia, and Thuringia, later
also Austria.
Some unhappy nobles joined the peasants'
site, e.g. Gotz von Berlichingen.
Huldreich Zwingli and Thomas
Munzer supported the revolt,
Martin Luther
was against it.
Approx 100,000 peasants lost their
lives.
