What happened at the Diet of Speyer?

Question

please don't give me a dissertation.

i'm not sure what year

whichever involves luther

Answer 1

It is where the official term of "Protestant" came to be. Speyer (1529) is important because it was going to give Protestants pretty much the same rights as the 1555 Peace of Augsburg, where if their Prince was Protestant, then the common people could be Protestant as well. However, the Ottoman Turks were infringing upon the lands of the Holy Roman Empire and Charles V decided to withdraw the decision made at Speyer in attempts to unify Europe against the invading Turks.

Answer 2

Second Diet Of Speyer

Answer 3

The term Diet of Speyer refers to any of several sessions of the Diet of the Holy Roman Empire when it chose to meet in the city of Speyer, Germany. The most famous sessions occurred in 1526 and 1529.

The First Diet of Speyer (1526)
The Second Diet of Speyer (1529)
Diet of Speyer, 1542
Diet of Speyer, 1544
Diet of Speyer, 1570
As Protestantism advanced, the execution of the Edict of Worms became less and less practicable. This was made manifest at the imperial Diet of Speier, held in the summer of 1526 under Archduke Ferdinand, in the name of the Emperor. The Protestant princes dared here for the first time to profess their faith, and were greatly strengthened by the delegates of the imperial cities in which the Reformation had made great progress. The threatening invasion of the Turks, and the quarrel of the Emperor with the Pope, favored the Protestant cause, and inclined the Roman Catholic majority to forbearance.

[edit]
Decision
The Diet came with the consent of Ferdinand to the unanimous conclusion, August 27, that a general or national council should be convened for the settlement of the church question, and that in the mean time, in matters concerning the Edict of Worms, "every State shall so live, rule, and believe as it may hope and trust to answer before God and his imperial Majesty." This important action was not meant to annul the Edict of Worms, and to be a permanent law of religious liberty, which gave to each member of the Diet the right to act as he pleased. It was no legal basis of territorial self-government, and no law at all. It was, as indicated by the terms, only an armistice, or temporary suspension of the Edict of Worms till the meeting of a general council, and within the limits of obedience to the Catholic Emperor who had no idea of granting religious liberty, or even toleration, to Protestants.

But in its practical effect the resolution of 1526 went far beyond its intention. It was a great help to the cause of Protestantism, especially as the council which the Diet contemplated, and which the Emperor himself repeatedly urged upon the Pope, was postponed for twenty years. In the mean time the Protestant princes, notably Philip of Hesse at the Synod of Homberg (October 20, 1526), and the Elector John of Saxony, interpreted the decree according to their wishes, and made the best use of the temporary privilege of independent action, regardless of its limitations or the views of the Emperor. Luther himself understood the Diet of Speier as having given him a temporary acquittal of heresy.

Is that where the Catholic Church decided to ex-communicate him? If so I am not sure which year it was but it was the year after he wrote his 95 Thesis and nailed them to the Church door
