[00:00:00]Europe was no longer divided by ideas alone. Now rival kingdoms and regions [music] across Europe were beginning to turn against each other.

[00:00:14]Church authority was challenged in cities, [music] kingdoms, and royal courts. Some rulers embraced the Reformation to strengthen their own power. Others saw it as a direct threat to stability [music] and religious order. Tension between Catholics and Protestants kept escalating.
