Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg (The large cardinal), 1523. Cardinal Albrecht (Albert) of Brandenburg (1490-1545) was Elector and Archbishop of Mainz from 1514 to 1545, and Archishop of Magdeburg from 1513 to 1545. His sale of indulgences (Church pardons for sins) to repay loans to the Fugger banking family, and to sustain his lavish lifestyle, infuriated Martin Luther and provoked him to write his 95 Theses which led to the Reformation.
