description: "István Werbőczy or Stephen Werbőcz was a Hungarian legal theorist and statesman, author of the Hungarian Customary Law, who first became known as a legal scholar and theologian of such eminence that he was appointed to accompany Emperor Charles V to Worms, to take up the cudgels against Martin Luther.

His interests focused on Roman Law, Canon Law and the Hungarian legal system."
