Many clergy saw Luther's reforms as the answer to Church corruption. A number of German princes, however, embraced Lutheran beliefs for more selfish reasons. Some saw Lutheranism as a way to throw off the rules of both the Church and the Holy Roman emperor. Others welcomed a chance to seize Church property in their territory. Still other Germans supported Luther because of feelings of national loyalty. They were tired of German money going to support churches and clergy in Italy.

Which individual and work had the greatest impact on the spread of Martin Luther and ideas?

The individual who had the greatest impact on the spread of Martin Luther's ideas was Johann Gutenberg, with his invention of the printing press. Gutenberg's press enabled the rapid reproduction and distribution of Luther's writings, particularly the Ninety-Five Theses, which criticized the Catholic Church's practices. This technological advancement allowed Luther's ideas to reach a wide audience across Europe, sparking the Protestant Reformation and facilitating the spread of Reformed thought far beyond what would have been possible through handwritten manuscripts.
