1532

Religious Peace of Nuremberg

July 23, 1532

Charles V, distracted by Ottoman advances up the Danube, granted the German Lutheran princes a temporary truce. They could practice their faith without imperial interference until a general council settled the matter. The concession bought Protestant survival while Suleiman's army sat camped near Guns. The truce established the precedent that religious differences could be managed through negotiation, foreshadowing the Peace of Augsburg.
