Frederick the Wise
When the young emperor Charles V declared Luther an outlaw after the diet of Worms, Luther had 21 days for safe passage to Saxon before the sentence fell. Luther was saved from arrest and death by the prince of Saxony, Duke Frederick the Wise, whose domains included Wittenberg. The Duke gave Luther sanctuary at his lonely Wartburg Castle.
