==Birth and Early life==
Martin Luther was born to Hans Luder (later changed to Luther) and Margarethe Linderman on the 10th of November, 1483 in Eisleben, Germany, which was then a part of the Holy Roman Empire. He was baptised as a Catholic the next morning, on the feast day of Saint Martin of Tours.
Martin had several brothers and sisters, and because he was the eldest, his father wished for him to become a lawyer.
