Page "Theodore Beza" Paragraph 33

The last polemical conflict of importance Beza encountered from the Lutherans was at the Colloquy of Mömpelgard, Mar.

14-27, 1586, to which he had been invited by the Lutheran Count Frederick of Württemberg at the wish of the French-speaking and Reformed residents as well as by French noblemen who had fled to Mömpelgard.

As a matter of course the intended union which was the purpose of the colloquy was not brought about ; nevertheless it called forth serious developments within the Reformed Church.
