The Alamanni were admittedly the most formidable and competent of the Germanic tribes of the time, establishing even then a reputation for independence and rebellion against oppression.
Finally the Alamanni, were decisively defeated by Julian (who later became Emperor of Rome) at Strassburg, in 375 A.D. Their Alamanni King, Chonodomarius, was captured.
But the very independent religious character of the Alamanni was never to be really lost-it was later to express itself in vigorous fur- therance of the Lutheran Reformation, giving Luther the most bold and determined support he had; and also in the creation, later, of new and independent special religions.
