Martin Luther was a rebel in his time, and created quite a stir in the religious community. While is early years were somewhat unremarkable his later deeds were filled with controversy. The things he is best known for is the writing of the 95 Theses, the diets that led to his being labeled a heretic, and translating the New Testament into German.
Martin Luther was born in 1483 in Eisleben, Saxony to Hans and Margaretta Luther. He was educated and set on a path to become a lawyer at his fathers behest. Around this time he had a brush with death that he took as a sign from God. So, although he continued his education, he became an Augustinian monk in the Roman Catholic Church. This leads us to his first rebellion.
