The Reformation in the Empire
Worms 1521: In the Imperial Diet in the shadow of the cathedral begins the first act of the religious schism. Monk and theologian Martin Luther is called to account. When he refuses to recant his theses, Charles V puts him under an imperial ban. No one may protect the “heretic”, nor disseminate his teachings, the young Emperor commands in the Edict of Worms. But there is resistance. For ever more sovereigns sympathise with Luther’s ideas, and there is little the Emperor can do. For the Empire is not one centralised state. True power lies with the individual sovereigns.
