A King for Burning

19931 seasonTV series

In 1534, the legendary Jan van Leyden, an Anabaptist, preaches in Münster, causing Catholics and Protestants alike to defect in droves—especially women. This leads to a bloody power struggle between the Anabaptists, the Church, the nobility, and the citizens, which ends in a long siege of Münster by the prince-bishop Franz von Waldeck.
