  1. The other answer is rude and racist to say they're all commonly constipated, and their diet makes them that way !!!

    Anyways, Luther was denounced by the ruling authorities, the Roman Catholic church, and he was accused of heresy, and pronounced "excommunicated", and was threatened to be burned to death at the stake as Jan Hus was.  Emperor Maximilian denounced Luther as a heretic and in 1518 The Papal Court ordered an inquisition in Rome.  Karl V continued the fight against Luther.  On 15 June, 1520 the Papal Bull of excommunication was given at the height of the inquisition in which Luther had sixty days to recant.  Cardinal Cajetan pleaded with him to recant, but refusing to do so,  Luther ended up fleeing the city in fear of his life.  An Imperial Act (Wormser Edikt) was imposed, labelling Luther an outlaw and giving anyone licence to kill him without penalty.  

    He also had some supporters:  With Luther’s knowledge a mock kidnapping by `bandits' was carried out by Friedrich the Wise and his men. He was taken to Wartburg Castle in Eisenach in order to protect him from harm. While in hiding he called himself Junker Jörg (Knight George) and grew his hair and a beard; rumours of his death circulated. It is said that Luther suffered delusions and torment by demons and evil spirits, and his life of exile surely increased his paranoia. There is a legend of him throwing his inkwell at the devil in a fit of anger.  He was in hiding, in exile in the drafty old building for 10 months.


  2. I'm not sure what you have in mind. Luther was highly esteemed in his own time in his community. He worked hard, but I don't think it had any adverse effects on his health.

    However, he was overweight for most of his life and, according to his Table Talk, suffered almost continually from constipation (Verstopfung in German.) That was not unusual among Germans at the time, given their diet.

    His wife worked even harder. She not only maintained her husband and children but took in numerous boarders, mostly university students.
