Early Protestant Movements - History of Religion DOCUMENTARY

Kings and Generals' animated historical documentary series on medieval history and history of religion continues with a video on Protestantism in the Christian church before Martin Luther, as we discuss various groups that were considered heretical by the Papal catholic authority and opposed the Pope and clergy for a variety of theological and political reason.

Have we told you lately how much we love your videos? This is such an incredibly in-depth, yet also concise, overview of such a complex topic! 👏

Hello. Writer and researcher of the video here. Hope you liked our overview of different religious movements of western Europe in the lower middle ages. Of course we couldn’t go into detail of them as this video is meant as an overview touching on elements that the heresies/movements have in common.

Such a good work! It would be so cool to go deep in the theological differences between these heresies in a future video, especially in the firts heretic movements (what was the difference between the monophysits, the monothelits and the monoenergists? How these heresies began to be conceived starting from a platonic or aristotelic view of the World?)

Protestantism: *Is created*
Catholics "Finally, a worthy opponent!"
Orthodoxs: "I thought what we had was special..." 😢

I love the non-militarily vids. That's so fascinating.

Also, I just read about how the Cumans who settled in Hungary (Greater Cumania) eventually converted to Calvinist Protestantism. I would love to see a video about the forgotten Turkic Protestants.

Been hoping to get some stuff on the Reformation, Proto-Reformation, and/or heretics from you guys!

Religion has always been a major influence on the development of human civilization from the very beginning. Kings and generals has done a great service to all of us with documentaries like this and others to show the impact that it has had on our global history. From the earliest time to the present. Thank you so much.

A very fine overview, congratulations! Back when I was in college, I had made a special study of the Waldensians, so was glad to see them mentioned here (I also noticed, though I didn't enter, the Waldensian church in the center of Rome). A small Waldensian community emigrated to North Carolina, in the US, though this was long after they had essentially merged with the Calvinists in Italy and France. There's a town called Valdese in NC that is their epicenter there.

Informative as always!! I bet your videos will be found in the playlists of people studying history

[jamesforreal]

I never knew there was this many attempts at dissension and reformation before the actual Reformation. Love these videos!

This was very interesting. I didn't know this history. Thank you so much. I learn so much from you all. My family had a religious war. Protestant Uncle married a Catholic girl. I wasn't even born yet, but I heard about it. The sh*t hit the fan. Wow! Arigatou gozaimasu Sensei. Deep bow of respect.

A great video! I love to see a nuanced view of the Middle Ages being popularized.
Speaking about the Council of Constance, you could probably make a whole video just about it, including a look at the two members of the Polish delegation (who defended Jan Hus): Stanisław of Skarbimierz and Paweł Włodkowic (known in Latin as Paulus Vladimiri). The two had some interesting, ahead-of-their-time ideas.

I find the slow conversion of the Teutonic order to Prussia to be an interesting topic considering their original purpose and the impact on the native Prussian Lithuanians who also eventually became Protestant and made the region a center of Lithuanian literature/culture.

[hanzup]

I've had my fingers crossed for a video from K&G on this subject :)

[herreramissions]

I've always been a bit confused about exactly how Buddhism got to Japan. It seems like everything about Japan does really well on YouTube so maybe you guys would be interested in covering that

[Myavepea]
