	Hieronymus Emser
		This canonization was largely due to the efforts of Emser at Rome, whither he went in 1510 at the express wish of George of Saxony, who saw in this solemn act a source of glory for his realm.
		At the disputation in Leipzig, Luther, to the express dissatisfaction of George of Saxony, who was present with Emser, gave utterance to Hussite opinions of a radical sort regarding the pope.
		Emser was deeply pained at this; and on learning that the Bohemians, in two semi-public letters, hailed a second Hus in Luther, he declared in a letter to John Zack that Luther had reprimanded the Bohemians for their attitude towards the pope, and had upheld the papal supremacy as a necessary means to prevent division.

		During the war, Saxony had gained the LAUSITZ as well as the former Princebishopric of MAGDEBURG, the latter for the most part temporarily (until 1680; from then onward it was to fall under Brandenburg rule).
		However, Saxony was in a better position as many other territories which had suffered severe damage during the war, as its soil was extraordinarily rich and the country was rich in mines.
		Saxony signed a treaty with Venice, 'lending' 3,000 of her troops to the maritime republic for two years in return for Venetian suubsidies - the Venetians conquered Morea.
