"intercession of saints"? Protestant revolution was not the origin of protestantism.The first protestant church was the apostolic church. (the church depicted in new testament do not pray to "saints" or use statues\images in prayer worship.) Thus it was protestant in essence.
When constantine made christianity the official religion of roman empire, majority in his empire was still pagan and they found it hard to forgo of their old idolatrous practices. So they changed the names of their old idols to "christian" ones and started praying to them . This came to be known as "intercession to saints" and is still practiced by catholic and orthodox "christians".True christians like aryan christians,donatists manichaens,paulicians,bogomils,cathars-waldensians & protsetants opposed this practice,but catholics branded them heretics and massacred them.Iconoclastic movement of 7th century was against this practice, later protestant revolution (15-16th century) was waged mainly against this practice.
