Ah I did not know that. So it wasn't so far off.

Though I kind of wonder how a monk might think to support someone? I never looked into what sort of work he did once out of the monastery. But in any case a man would have had more (and much better) prospects than any woman. Especially an educated man, I'd guess.
I believe that he continued to teach and preach; he had a Lutheran Patron in Elector Frederic, who provided he and Kate with land and a closed Monastery to live in if I recall correctly.
