Best Answer

Although not a protestant himself at first, Frederick the Wise:

1) Made Luther a professor at a new university he founded at Wittenberg

2)Tolerated Luther's objections against papal indulgences.

3) Negotiated an amnesty for Luther at an enquiry into Luther's beliefs at the Diet of Worms chaired by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor on behalf of the pope.

4) Took Luther into 'protective custody' after Luther was condemned at the diet of Worms by Charles (and thus the pope)

5) Allowed the publication and distribution of Luther's arguments throughout Saxony and beyond.

6) Gave confidence to other 'Electors' and German princes to question the total authority of Rome.
