I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who persecuted the Anabaptists in the 16th century?
All the background I'm provided with is that "As a result of their views on the nature of baptism and other issues, Anabaptists were heavily persecuted during the 16th century and into the 17th by both Magisterial Protestants and Roman Catholics.[aa]". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
