Why did Lutheranism appeal to princes?

Lutheranism was very appealing to princes.Princes were free of political control. They could rule their own ministers and appoint them were ever they want, they would also have no problems with power over bishops. They could also elect their own ministers. Princes would have more power if they converted into lutheranism.

Princes ruled more territories in northern England when they converted to Lutheranism.Lutheranism allowed princes to confiscate monasteries and seize their land and wealth. After taking down monasteries and taking their money it made Princes richer and have more land.

Lutheranism made a very big appeal on princes because they could be richer. When princes took down monasteries they also took their  wealth and Land. So when princes took down monasteries it made them richer and more powerful.

Lutheranism also gave a new perspective on christianity over the church. They said that the leader of the church was Jesus not the pope. And that What the church was doing was wrong and that it was for there own gain, if you want to go to heaven your not supposed to indulgences to the church, it is in faith of god.

 They didn’t have to also enforce various Christian church dues on their subjects. By rejecting the authority of Rome, princes also could assert the primacy of the state over the church more generally. Lutheranism was more appealing to princes because it gave them more power over the church.

As a conclusion Lutheranism gave princes all that they wanted. Lutheranism made princes more powerful and richer and it gave them all the land that they can get from the monasteries.
