Indulgences • John Tetzel was selling the special “Jubilee indulgence • Leads Luther to post 95 thesis • Reactions • Lucky: as charges were being prepared against Luther the HRE (Maximilian I) died in January of 1519. Attention turned away from Luther’s “heresy” while they chose a new Emperor • Elected Charles I King of Spain who became Charles V HRE (why?)
