Chapter 159: Council of Kufstein

With the Teutonic Order's defeat in Oberstdorf, Berengar's fame had increased exponentially. The fact that he resisted such a massive army and dealt a devastating blow to the Crusaders who invaded Germany at the behest of the Pope to put down the so-called Berengar Heresy had emboldened Berengar's followers.

The town of Suhl and the destruction wrought upon it by the Papacy's forces became a symbol of resistance against Papal Authority. As a result, noblemen and clergy alike flocked to Kufstein to discuss the details of the German Reformation and how to proceed.

While Berengar entertained these delegates inside his Great Hall, he merely sat upon his seat of power with his skull chalice in his hands, drinking from wine as he listened to the Noblemen and Clergy squabble over the direction in which this Reformist movement should take.
