The Tudor Society

Faith, Rebellion and Controversy

On this day in Tudor history, 4th January 1519, reformer Martin Luther met with papal envoy Karl von Miltitz in an attempt to reconcile with the Catholic Church.

But could Luther, the man who sparked the Reformation with his Ninety-Five Theses, truly stay silent on indulgences and corruption?

Witness the pivotal moment that led to his excommunication and cemented his role as one of history’s most influential yet polarising figures. Luther's theological breakthroughs revolutionised Christianity, but his later years revealed a darker side to his legacy.
