Editing Heinrich Bullinger (section)

==== Marriage to Anna Adlischweiler (1529) ====
In the summer of 1527, Bullinger met Anna Adlischweiler, a former [[nun]], in Zurich.{{NoteTag|Lawson (2019) suggests that Bullinger met Anna in 1529, when he "traveled to the former Dominican convent at Oetenbach," but Müller (2004) explicitly states that he met Anna "in the summer of 1527," and suggests that he sent the proposal then, and not in 1529 as Lawson suggests.}} Contrary to contemporary practice, he sent her a direct proposal of marriage and was betrothed four weeks later.<ref name=":7" /> Anna's mother objected because she wanted her daughter to marry a wealthier man and because she wanted Anna to stay by her side until her death. When the engagement became publicly known, she tried to legally break it. Though she failed in this effort, Anna did stay with her mother until her death two years later. Anna then married Bullinger on 17 August 1529.<ref name=":10" />{{Rp||pages=75–76|page=}} The couple had five daughters and six sons, all of the latter except one becoming Protestant ministers. The couple also adopted other children.<ref name=":3">{{Cite book|last=Shane|first=E.
