The Wars of Religion are the bloody outcome of the religious fracturing of Europe. They reshaped political identity and redefined the balance of power among countries. But what actually happened and why does it matter? This episode is a wild ride through three different countries, as scheming French cardinals send funds to Protestant rebels abroad, and the king of Spain institutes bloody punishments for religious deviance in the Netherlands. Cities under siege and a terrifying "red wedding" are part of the story. From Hugenots to Anabaptists, Calvinists, and Lutherans, this episode will answer questions you didn't know you had.
