 Christian III - LoveToKnow 1911
In 1521 Christian travelled in Germany, and was present at the diet of Worms, where Luther's behaviour profoundly impressed him.
Christian's finances were certainly readjusted thereby, but the ultimate gainers by the confiscation were the nobles, and both education and morality suffered grievously in consequence.
He carefully avoided all foreign complications; refused to participate in the Schmalkaldic war of 1546; mediated between the emperor and Saxony after the fall of Maurice of Saxony at the battle of Sievershausen in 1553, and contributed essentially to the conclusion of peace.

Saxony was the center of the protestant reformation; in church affairs, Martin Luther, until his death in 1546, was the unelected, yet unquestioned authority, Philip Melanchthon his trusted friend and Lutheranism's leading diplomat (as Luther himself, still excommunicated and under ban, could not leave Saxony).
In 1546 the Schmalkaldic League raised an army, which, under the command of Duke-Elector John Frederick of Saxony, was stationed in Wuerttemberg, when unexpectedly Ernestine Saxony was invaded by troops from Albertine Saxony (Duke Maurice, a Lutheran, from the perspective of the Schmalkaldic League a traitor).
