First of all, it is important to know that whatever peasants did was not because they got inspired by Luther’s work literally but only they found an excuse to revolt against their rulers. Yes, the Upper Swabian’s were encouraged with what Luther’s work taught them to revolt against their rulers. They created the 12 Article and then they revolted against the rulers. In literal sense, they did not take Luther’s message in its real sense.
