A seminary professor of mine researched the invitees of the Council of Trent. In spite of supposedly being an ecumenical council for all the Western Church,
over 80% of the Cardinals and Bishops there were from Italy--the most anti-Evangelical and mostly ignorant of the Evangelical movement (using the word Evangelical as Luther used it, with a modern usage of "Protestant.") of all Roman Catholic leadership at the time.
Lutheran leaders were initially invited...but, when it was clear they were to be completely stonewalled and ignored (not to mention being at serious risk of being arrested, tried and burned by the Inquisition...) they soon left.

I’d like to see the historical texts you cite when referring to “being at serious risk of being arrested, tried and burned by the Inquisition...”
Can you do that for me?

Correct, not only were 80% of those at Trent from Italy, not one of them knew NT Greek or OT Hebrew.

The Protestant leaders were offered safe-conduct passes. And they didn’t “soon leave”; they never showed up at all.

Given the fate of Hus, in the not too distant past, not an unreasonable concern.
