Episode 1 of 2
Prohibition of Reformation
- When
- 1529
- Where
- Imperial City of Speyer
The Diet condemned the 1526 recess and prohibited future reformation under threat of the imperial ban.
The resulting recess neutralized the 1526 decisions, condemning religious innovations without annulling them. It forbade any further reformation until a promised council met, a measure the Protestants viewed as fatal to their movement.
