PROF. M. M. NINAN<br />
<strong>Luther</strong> was allowed to leave Worms, but he was now considered an outlaw. Emperor Charles<br />
issued the Edict of Worms, declaring <strong>Luther</strong> a heretic and ordering his death.<br />

Knowing that he is now in danger as soon as he leave worms he arranged for him to be<br />
"kidnapped" and taken to Wartburg Castle near the town of Eisenach in safety.<br />
<strong>Luther</strong> disguised himself as a nobleman, grew a beard and called himself "Junker Jörg". He was<br />
safe in the Wartburg, a strong fortress on the top of a mountain, under the protection of the local<br />
prince.<br />
