The Pope issued a papal bull threatening to excommunicate Luther if he did not recant in 90 days. Luther is said to have burned copies of the bull. Luther was excommunicated and Holy Roman Emperor Charles V was told to kill him on charges of heresy. Charles summoned him to Worms (verms) to be examined. Luther was declared a heretic. Luther had thirty days to return home before being declared an outlaw. On the way back to Wittenburg Luther was kidnapped by his friend a prince of Germany. the prince took him to a castle where luther lived in safety and translated the New Testament into German. Because Charles was busy with foreign affairs Luther was not bothered for the remainder of his life which he spent mostly in Wittenburg.
