 It was on this date in 1521 that Martin Luther is excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church by Pope Leo X.  After being declared an outlaw, Martin Luther was hidden at Wartburg Castle, where he used the alias "Knight George" to translate the New Testament from Greek into German, completing it in 1522, and helped standardize the German language, with the full Bible published in 1534.
