Count Ulrich of Lindburg: A Tale of the Reformation in Germany
Produced by Nick Hodson of London, England
"Count Ulrich of Lindburg: A Tale of the Reformation in Germany" by W.H.G. Kingston is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It centers around the events of the Reformation in the early 16th century, particularly focusing on Count Ulrich and his son Eric as they navigate the religious upheaval sparked by Martin Luther's teachings. The story introduces various characters caught between the old and new beliefs, setting the stage for a narrative exploring themes of faith, rebellion, and personal conviction. The opening portion of the novel establishes the historical context by depicting Martin Luther's early impact on society and the initial reactions of Count Ulrich and his family. While Ulrich becomes increasingly contemplative about Luther's ideas, his wife and daughter remain loyal to the church. Eric, intrigued by the reforms, embarks on a journey to Wittemburg accompanied by a guard, Hans, where he encounters bullying, captures, and unexpected allies. These events foreshadow the conflicts he will face related to both the Reformation and his family's dynamics, while prompting him to consider his beliefs and loyalties.
