After failing to get rid of the cultists, the Catholic prince bishop returns to lay siege to the city. God tells Jan Matthijs that he would not be harmed, so he rides out to face the army. The ‘prophet’s’ head is put on a spike and his genitals are nailed to the city gate. Soon after, his disciple Jan van Leiden proclaims himself the ‘real prophet’, restoring the town’s faith and leading them into further peril. Van Leiden mandates polygamy, kills his challengers and abolishes the right to own property. Under siege for over a year, famine breaks out and many die of starvation. When the Prince Bishop retakes Munster, leaders of the rebellion are captured, tortured and killed, with their corpses placed in iron cages for all to see for 50 years. The cages still hang to this day.\n
