From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Heinrich Gresbeck
, also known as Henry Gresbeck, was a carpenter who was living in the city of
Munster
in 1534 when the
Munster Rebellion
began. He wrote the only eyewitness account of events
within
the city for the fifteen months duration of the rebellion, and played a key role in the recapture of the city by guiding the siege forces of
Franz von Waldeck
, Bishop of Munster, inside the fortress gates.
For these actions Gresbeck has been described in various texts as a "convert", "traitor", "collaborator", "deserter", "chronicler", and "disgruntled city refugee".

Before now, Gresbeck’s account was only available in a heavily edited German copy adapted from inferior manuscripts. Christopher S. Mackay, who previously produced the only modern translation of the main Latin account of these events, has adhered closely to Gresbeck’s own words to produce the first complete and accurate English translation of this important primary source.
