Martin Luther was born to [[Hans Luther (15th century)|Hans]] and [[Margarette Luther]], ''née'' Lindemann, on [[November 10]], [[1483]], in [[Eisleben]], [[Germany]], and was baptized on the feast day of [[Martin of Tours|St. Martin of Tours]], after whom he was named. His father owned a [[copper]] mine in nearby [[Mansfeld]]. Having risen from the [[peasantry]], his father was determined to see his son ascend to [[civil service]] and bring further honor to the family. To that end, Hans sent young Martin to schools in Mansfeld, [[Magdeburg]] and [[Eisenach]].
