Emperor Charles V hailed him as the saviour of the empire - Georg Truchsess Freiherr zu Waldburg. As the supreme field captain of a princely army, he put down the greatest uprising that Europe had experienced before the French Revolution. In his brilliant history of Bauernjörg, Peter Blickle creates a dramatic panorama of the Peasants' War. For the first time, the course of the Peasants' War in southern Germany and the struggle for its legitimacy are described in detail. Using masterfully narrated episodes, Peter Blickle shows the main problem of the conflict: power-mindedness forbids the lords to deal with the justified concerns of their subjects. Georg Truchsess von Waldburg is not only the enforcer of this arrogant mentality of the nobility, he himself promotes it through his characteristic bellicosity. Many pithy quotations give rise to a lively and vivid character portrait, showing the peasant Jörg as an authoritarian military leader, robust politician and gifted orator.
