('I am rightly called Friedrich, for I maintained a blessed peace in my domain with great wisdom, patience, and luck, despite the machinations of a number of rogues. I graced my lands with new buildings and endowed a new university at Wittenberg in Saxony that became famous throughout the world, for from it the Word of God came forth and wrought great change in many places. It destroyed the papal empire and brought back the true faith. They elected me emperor, but my old age protested, so I chose Emperor Charles [Charles V, 1500-1558] and neither favors nor money could dissuade me.')
