The Saxon Dominican provincial charges Luther with heresy, and he is summoned in 1519 to appear in Augsburg before the papal legate, Cardinal Cajetan.
Refusing to recant, Luther flees to Wittenberg, seeking the protection of the elector Frederick the Wise of Saxony.
When the Wittenberg faculty sends a letter to Frederick declaring its solidarity with Luther, the elector refuses to send Luther to Rome, where he will surely face imprisonment or death.
