Reformation and Consequences: Crash Course European History #7

The Protestant Reformation didn’t exactly begin with Martin Luther, and it didn’t end with him either. Reformers and monarchs changed the ways that religious and state power were organized throughout the 16th and early 17th centuries. Jean Calvin in France and Switzerland, the Tudors in England, and the Huguenots in France also made major contributions to the Reformation.
