Findings that rest on exhibits naming this entity

  • REL-1.2: According to Aloys Schulte's German translation of the Vatican documents, the envoys' petition of 1 August 1514 offered Leo X 10,000 ducats and asked that half the proceeds go to St. Peter's and half to Albert and the churches of Mainz, Magdeburg and Halberstadt. The motu proprio of 15 April 1515 records that Albert paid the 10,000 ducats and that no revocation or competing plenary indulgence would be allowed for eight years.
