How do we get Transsylvania to be a independent Protestant state dominated by the Transylvanian Saxons?

You don't. And there's only one "s" in the name.
Thank you, but just because it's dominated by the Saxons, it doesn't mean that they have to be in majority. You can see that the Courland, Livonia and Estland was dominated by the Germans for a long time even through they only made up 6 % of their populations.
OTL?
Transylvania was an indendant vasall principality to the Ottomans for a time, and was in the middle ages and early modern age generally ruled by the Unio Trium Nationum[/url], the alliance of sorts between the Transylvanian Saxons, as burghers in the cities, the Szeklers, as free peasants and the Transyvlanian Hungarians, as feudal lords.
Maybe a alliance beetween the Saxons and Szeklers against the Hungarians and the creation of a merchant republic with wide rights to the free peasants. What if Szerklers converted to Lutheranismen, instead of becoming Calvinists.
A republic is by definition no principality![]()
And as said, it was independant, while it was a vasall to the Ottomans...
Ottomans (having taken the smart road and established Hungary as a vassal) invite them in after a succession crisis. The already strong Calvinist element proves dominant, and a related Millet started up by the ambitious heading to Constantinople provides 'safe' heirs and dynastic links.How do we get Transsylvania to be a independent Protestant state dominated by the Transylvanian Saxons?
