Martin Luther.
The Reformation is considered to have been started when Luther nailed the 95 Thesis against indulgences to the door of the castle church at Wittenberg in 1517.

The Lutheran Church was named after him, although he did not want it to be.

The Reformation did not lead to the growth of feudalism; in fact, it occurred during the decline of the feudal system. The Reformation was a religious movement in the 16th century that challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and led to significant social and political changes in Europe, but it did not directly impact the feudal system.
