(Right) John Knox led a protestant movement in Scotland in the sixtenth century. Many others led reforms against the Catholic church, or were protestants like Martin Luther, a German priest who came up with the 95 thesis. These movements divided the Christian religion into many types. They were called the Reformation and the Protestant movements.

(Left)This photograph is of the Diet of Worms. There, Martin Luther had to recant, or give up his ideas about the Christian Religion. However, he refused to unless someone would prove his ideas wrong. Because of this his writing was banned. This was called the Edict of Worms and it was ordered in 1521 by Charles V, the Holy Roman emperor.
