franz von waldeck

Franz von Waldeck (or Francis of Waldeck) was Prince-Bishop of Mnster, and a leading figure in putting down the Mnster Rebellion. In the early 1530s, the city of Mnster instituted reformation, but soon fell under the control of Reformer Bernhard Rothmann. Franz von Waldeck took action against the city, including the confiscation of goods owned by city merchants. In February of 1533, both sides came to an agreement and the hostilities ceased. By early 1534, Anabaptists were in control, and Bishop Waldeck besieged the city. On Easter Sunday, 1534, Anabaptist leader Jan Matthys brought a band forth out of the city, and was defeated and killed. John of Leiden then installed himself as king of the city of New Jerusalem (Mnster). With the help of a traitor from within, Bishop Waldeck's troops took the city on June 24, 1535.
