The episcopal city of Wuerzburg was also entered and occupied by the peasant bands in coalition with the discontented elements of the town.

The sacking of churches and throwing open of religious houses characterized proceedings here as elsewhere.

The locking up of a large peasant host in Wuerzburg was undoubtedly a source of great weakness to the movement.

In the east, in the Tyrol and Salzburg, there were similar risings to those farther west.

In the latter case the prince-bishop was the obnoxious oppressor.
The most interesting of the local movements was, however, in many respects that of Thomas Muenzer in the town of Muelhausen, in Thuringia.
Thomas Muenzer is, perhaps, the best known of all the names in the peasants' revolt.
