Martin Luther, an important figure of protestant reformation, called for the German nobles and princes to put down the rebel peasants like mad dogs during the peasant revolt of 1524-25. This led to the slaughter of thousands of poorly armed peasants. Martin Luther had defied a powerful but corrupt Roman Catholic church with his 95 thesis and brought a radical change in Christianity. Then why would such a radical leader side with the princes and nobles who were subjugating and exploiting peasants for centuries.
