Abigail Wright Reger 1 13 September 2014 AP European History FRQ - Reformation Martin Luther and Henry VIII are perhaps two of the most influential men in history in terms of getting what they wanted. However, both men followed through with their actions with different goals in mind; Henry?s goals being mostly personal issues while on the other hand, Martin Luther?s goals were focused on religion. Their actions were also different - Henry VIII?s actions far more brutal than Luther?s. In turn, two of the most lasting impressions of The Reformation were through the actions of both Henry VIII and Martin Luther.
