Martin Luther led the reformation which began in Germany. It was formed as a reaction to the percieved corruption of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, especially the Papal policy of the sale of indulgences (the ability for a person to pay for forgiveness and exemptions from commited mortal and corporeal sins)

Arguably the first "primary leader", in the first generation of reformers was Martin Luther, as he got the ball rolling with the 95 theses ( a list of complaints against the catholic church )

However, his reach was limited as he preached a very nationalist message which didn't reach far out of Germany.

It was the second generation reformer Calvin who really carried on the protestant faith in the form of Calvinism. This began in Geneva and spread as far as Scotland!
