p. 19: "Martin Luther was born on 10 November 1483 in Eisleben in Saxony to Hans Ludher (as he spelt his surname), the second son of a family which owned a farm in Möhra, near Eisenach, in Thuringia, and his wife Margarethe Lindemann, whose family also came from Eisenach."
p. 20: " Returning from a visit to Mansfeld on 2 July 1505, he narrowly escaped being struck by lightning, praying to St Anne, the mother of the Virgin Mary: “Help me, and I will become a monk.” Despite the disapproval of his father, just two weeks later, on 17 July, Luther applied to the Erfurt house of the observant Augustinian hermits, entering the order later that autumn.
