@edintone Thank you. I did some more research, however, and determined that note to be incorrect. Ulrich Greiner was not a trusted representative OF the peasants, he was a trusted representative sent WITH the peasants. As a commoner himself (though a fairly wealthy one) he was probably well known. The nobles who chose him may have thought he’d be a trusted voice. There’s also mention of legal conflicts he’d had with Werner Hipler, a nobleman who supported the rebellion.
