   Note: The most celebrated Imperial Diets are the three
         following, all held under Charles V.:

   {Diet of Worms}, 1521, the object of which was to check the
      Reformation and which condemned Luther as a heretic;

   {D. of Spires, or Speyer}, 1529, which had the same object
      and issued an edict against the further dissemination of
      the new doctrines, against which edict Lutheran princes
      and deputies protested (hence Protestants):

   {D. of Augsburg}, 1530, the object of which was the
      settlement of religious disputes, and at which the
      Augsburg Confession was presented but was denounced by the
      emperor, who put its adherents under the imperial ban.
