8069historical_info = flavor_hab.1603.historical_info After the defeat of the Schmalkaldic League in the battle of Mühlberg, Emperor Charles V worked toward restoring the religious unity of the Holy Roman Empire. On the Imperial Diet of Augsburg of 1548, he enforced the Augsburg Interim on the imperial estates, which should govern the religious policy of the Empire until a general council of the Catholic Church could be concluded. The Augsburg Interim primarily reflected a Catholic viewpoint; however, it did allow clerical marriage and communion in both kinds (bread and wine) for the laity. Several Protestant electors objected to the Catholic emphasis of the Augsburg Interim and refused to abide by it. Charles attempted to force its acceptance, an action that led the Protestants to adopt the Leipzig Interim, which upheld Protestant doctrines, at a subsequent Diet. Neither Interim was fully accepted so a German religious settlement was not brought about until the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, which established the principle Cuius regio, eius religio, 'whose realm, their religion', dictating that the religion of each ruler would then be enforced for their subjects.
