In this posi- tion he made it his chief aim to restore the political hegemony of Liibeck on the Baltic Sea by the subjection of Denmark and Sweden and the propagation of Protestantism, but was thwarted by the unlucky turn which the campaign against Denmark took and the return to power of the aristocratic part.v at Liibeck. When, moreover, a writ of execution from the Imperial Chanilier at Speyer, issued in -June, 1535, threatened the city with the ban of the empire, if the old aris- tocratic constitution were not restored within forty-five days. Wullenweber resigned his office. On a journey to Hadeln soon after, he was ar- rested by the Archbishop of Bremen and de- livered to that prelate's brother, Duke Henry of Brunswick, a sworn enemy of Lutheranism, who kept him in durance at Steinbriick. Put to the rack the most inconsistent self-accusations were extorted from him. whereupon he was condemned to death and executed in Septeml)er, 1537.
