Long-term Consequences and Significance
Antoine’s military successes against Protestant uprisings ensured Lorraine remained staunchly Catholic during the turbulent early years of the Reformation. His decisive suppression of the peasants' revolt reinforced ducal authority and contributed to stabilizing Lorraine politically and socially during this critical juncture. The duke’s military skill and alignment with French interests would maintain Lorraine's influential position amid the shifting alliances and conflicts of early sixteenth-century Europe.
