What was one significant outcome of the german peasants’ revolt

At the Battle of Frankenhausen in May 1525, the peasants were surrounded and killed by the thousands. The leader of the revolt ended up being arrested and, under torture, was forced to deny his convictions. Finally he was beheaded. His head was hung as a trophy at the entrance gates of Frankenhausen.

After the defeat, the peasants remained under the yoke of the feudal lords and maintained as serfs, reinforced by the Lutheran principle of passive submission to authority.

Explanation:

In 1524, the German peasants revolted against the feudal lords, to whom they were forced to work. The crisis of the feudal system had changed the situation of the rural population. Led by Thomas Müntzer, a pastor of Saxony, the peasant revolt spread through the countryside and cities of Germany.

The peasantry was based on the Bible to affirm that the peasants were born free and demanded the free choice of the spiritual leaders, the abolition of the servitude, the diminution of taxes on the land and the freedom to hunt in the forests belonging to the nobility. Luther condemned the peasants' movement, supporting the princes and nobles.
