He had been called to Worms, Germany, to appear before the Diet (assembly) of the Holy Roman Empire and answer charges of heresy.

Hello!

Martin Luther King accused the Catholic Chuch of corrupt practices, so he was called by the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V to appear before the Diet of Worms since he was accused of heresy and he had to recant.

Hope this helps
