DESCRIPTION:The mining towns of Upper Hungary experienced varying forms of
  unrest in the course of the sixteenth century. Not long after Luther had 
 pinned up the 95 theses against indulgences in Wittenberg in 1517 reformed
  ideas can be found in the predominantly German-speaking towns of northern
  Hungary. Paralleling the Peasants' War in the Empire in time and sentimen
 t\, revolt broke out among the miners in 1525. Following the defeat of the
  Hungarian army by the Ottoman sultan Suleyman in 1526\, the violence abat
 ed\, but unrest continues to be evident throughout the sixteenth century. 
 The paper will address the changing status of this particular group of min
 es in the course of the sixteenth century\, which undoubtedly played a lar
 ge role in the discontent. The paper will go beyond economic consideration
 s and also address the ethnic dimensions of the Reformation in the region 
 and the role of both ethnicity and preaching in the revolts of Upper Hunga
 ry.
