The most compelling and most influential person that we have learned about this year, in my opinion, would have to be Martin Luther. I might think this just because i recently studied him, but even so I still think he was the most amazing and compelling by far. His teachings are still studied to this day! It seems like his life was full of non-stop action and someone was always on his tail because he spoke his mind almost too often. Martin Luther's main accomplishment was the Reformation of the Catholic church. He thankfully ceased the selling of indulgences which might even be around today if it wasn't for Martin Luther. Though Martin Luther was excommunicated on June 15, 1520, he is still remembered for all the great things he has done to this day.

Queen Elizabeth I had a very troubled childhood. Her Mother was disgraced and executed while Elizabeth was very young, her life was never to be the same afterwards. Elizabeth was also a very troubled teen. Elizabeth and a boy by the name of Thomas Seymour had a relationship that was to say the least contraversal and looked down upon. This gave Elizabeth I a bad image. Another very controversial move by Elizabeth was the decision to not marry. She had so many options but none struck her fancy and she made the decision to not marry. Elizabeth died died in Richmond Palace on March 24, 1603 at the age pf 69.
