Ein lüstig gesprech der Teuffel vnd etlicher Kriegsleute : Von der flucht des grossen Scharrhansen H. Heinrichs von Braunschweig
Summary: While Henry, the Younger, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, openly identified with the Roman Catholic Church in its struggle against the Reformation, his religious principles were often dictated by political expediency. He is, in fact, said to have permitted Lutheran influences in a variety of instances in his duchy. Defeated by the Lutheran princes of the Schmalkald League, he was driven from his territories, returning after their defeat at the hands of the Imperial army. This dialogue between the devil and some soldiers satyrizes Henry.
