The Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, did not approve of Luther's revolution against the Church. He had a close relationship with the Church, mostly due to his desire to preserve the power of his Hapsburg family, so many of his decisions were made with the Church's influence. The Church was appalled by Luther's movement, so they demanded that the Emperor do something to stop him. Charles V met with Luther in the city of Worms and told him to cease his actions. After Luther refused, the emperor was outraged and decreed the Edict of Worms: Luther's works were burned and he was made an outlaw that was, under all circumstances, to be captured and brought before the emperor once more.
