Let's travel a century or so in the future from Britain's Peasant Revolt to what happened in Germany after they had their own. It's fully the Renaissance now, but don't tell that to Anabaptist Jan Matthis; he's planning for the End Times. We're going to have a city under siege, a Preacher who (surprise, surprise) wants to be a King and marry everyone, and a lot of good old-fashioned torture.
We recommend the 1993 made-for-German-TV movie with Christoph Waltz - per usual he's evil AND adorable.
There are two Jans and three Bernards in this story!
