(1465-1519), was a germanic dominican preacher remembered for selling "Indulgence" and for speaking the couplet "As soon as a coin in the coffer rings / the rescued soul from purgatory springs." Tetzel even went as far as creating a chart that listed a price for each type of sin and claiming that the indulgences he sold could save a soul who violated the Virgin Mary.
1509: Made an inquisitor
1517: Pope Leo X made him commissioner of indulgences for all Germany
1519: Died in Leipzig
The accusation that he sold full forgiveness for sins not yet committed, caused great scandal
