Prince Frederick the Wise of Saxony is best known for his conflict with the Catholic Church, particularly during the early 16th century. He had significant disagreements with Pope Leo X and other church leaders over issues such as the sale of indulgences, which were famously criticized by Martin Luther. Frederick supported Luther's reforms while maintaining a degree of independence from the Catholic Church, ultimately playing a crucial role in the Protestant Reformation.
