A barrel of beer started a war in 1380! ? In Breslau, the city council confiscated a duke’s gift of beer, leading to a "beer war." The church retaliated with a religious ban, and the city arrested clergy. The conflict escalated, drawing in kings and popes, who had to intervene to settle the dispute. In the end, a compromise was reached: the clergy got their privileges reaffirmed, and, most importantly, secured the right to import beer for their personal use. #BreslauBeerWar #MedievalHistory #HistoryShorts #Erik #BeerHistory #HolyRomanEmpire #MedievalWars #HistoricalEvents #ReligiousConflicts #GermanHistory #14thCentury #ChurchAndState #HistoricalFacts #Beer
