An interesting tidbit that I found on the German wikipedia's article on Friedrich the Wise of Saxony (yes, Luther's patron), says that he petitioned both Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian and the Pope for a dispensation/permission to marry the twice widowed Margarethe of Austria, formerly both Princess of the Asturias and duchess of Savoy. Apparently, the refusal of this request played a big role in his decisions during the Reformation. Friedrich never married, but had several illegitimate children. However, I was thinking, that although the film Luther portrays Friedrich as taking far more of an interest in Luther than he OTL did, if the permission/dispensation had been granted, his reaction might be different. Hell, he might even decide he's willing to stand for the Imperial Election (as several people wanted him to) after Maximilian died.
What do you think? Sane? Or ASB?
