    Notes:

    Heinrich IV Emperor Of Germany became king of Germany at the age of six. The
    nobles revolted while his mother served as regent. When he took control of the
    kingdom in 1069, he tried to establish his authority throughout Germany. But he
    came into conflict with Pope Gregory VII. In 1075, Gregory denied civil rulers
    the authority to make appointments to church offices. In response, Henry
    called a council which met at Worms in 1076 and declared the pope disposed.
    Gregory in turn expelled Henry from the church and released his subjects from
    allegiance to him.

    After a long struggle, Henry had to yield. Pope Gregory had retired to a
    stronghold at Canossa in the Apennines. It is said that Henry had to stand
    barefoot in the snow for three days before he was permitted to kneel at the
    pope's feet and be pardoned. But after his return to Germany, Henry renewed
    the struggle. For years his country was torn by civil war. In 1084, he
    captured Rome and replaced Gregory with a pope he had chosen. Gregory died in
    exile soon afterward, but his successors took up the contest. One of them
    again expelled Henry from the church. Finally, in 1105, Henry was forced to
    abdicate after one of his sons had been persuaded to rebel against him. Henry
    died while preparing for war.
