The Peace of Augsburg, which was a result of the Reformation, was signed in 1555 and divided Europe into the Roman Catholic Church and the new Lutheran (Protestant) Church. Charles V (1500-1558), the Holy Roman emperor, was reluctant to concede lands to Protestantism, yet he also wished to end the religious divisions in the empire. Princes themselves had converted to Lutheranism, and they convinced Charles to allow each prince to choose between the two faiths for his own land. The Peace of Augsburg officially recognized the Lutheran Church and the right of people to worship as Protestants.
