Talk:Pope Martin I

I once saw an AH about a world in which there had never been any Protestant reformations. The synopsis said that Rome had cut a deal with Luther by which he became Pope Martin I. Leaving aside the fact that everyone knows popes change their names upon election, he would have been, if anything, Martin VI. Or maybe Martin IV--When the second Pope named Martin was elected, he wound up being Martin IV because some secretary misread Marinus and turned Marinus I and II into Martin II and III. But he would certainly not have been Martin I. Turtle Fan 04:44, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
