Lecture 2: Band of Brothers
The watchword of the Peasants’ War was ‘brotherly love’. Oaths of loyalty, which only men could swear, held the movement together; and peasant activists roamed the land calling on villages to join the ‘brotherhood’. But could women be brothers? Was the peasants’ fraternal egalitarianism a male language, and what role did manhood play in the movement’s ideals and values?
