Summary
Biographical account of Franz von Sickingen (1481- 1523), a German knight, and one of the most notable figures of the first period of the Reformation. In about 1517 Sickingen became intimate with Ulrich von Hutten, and gave his support to Hutten's schemes. In 1519 a threat from him freed Johann Reuchlin from his enemies, the Dominicans, and his castles became (in Hutten's words) a refuge for righteousness. Here many of the reformers found shelter, and a retreat was offered to Martin Luther. (Source: wikipedia, accessed Sept. 2, 2009)
