What Is Ursula About?

The premise of Ursula without spoilers.

In 1523 Switzerland, mercenary Hansli Gyr arrives back in his native Oberland with the soldiers he led from Italy, where they had served the Pope. Instead of a quiet homecoming, they encounter a nation roiled by a religious upheaval, as the Reformation’s tensions erupt across the valleys and towns.
