Abstract

Martin Luther never came to England. So far as I know, he was never invited. Melanchthon was-many times, sometimes by King Henry himself, very often by the Archbishop of Canterbury, but he always found reason to decline. Martin Luther never set foot on the realms of Henry VIII. What, then, is the connection between Luther and the English Reformation?
