Demand for Saltzburg Religion Harmony and Westphalia Treaty Adherence
In 1731 a local commission dispute over Saltzburg religion prompts appeals to the Emperor. The letter argues the Archbishop of Saltsburg should open passages for Protestants to retire per Westphalia, or accept a proposed commission. It notes infractions, potential cost of guards, and seeks imperial protection as unrest grows. The memorial claims Protestants in the diocese number about 20,000 and seek liberty of conscience.
