Written in 1522, this work by Martin Luther critiques Henry VIII of England in response to the king’s defense of the seven sacraments. Luther's text engages in the theological debate sparked by Henry's "Assertio septem sacramentorum," highlighting the tensions between the monarchy and emerging Protestant thought. The ensuing exchange includes Thomas More's "Responsio ad Lutherum," showcasing the intellectual conflict of the era and the pivotal role of religious discourse in shaping political and theological landscapes.
