Popes vs. Monarchs
Süžeeskeem Tekst
- I claim that the emperor should not have power over the Church!
- Nonsense!!! This is unacceptable.
- I WANT TO CHOOSE MY OWN BISHOP!!!
- The Roman pope should be the one who appoints bishops because I need power.
- Just choose already :( :( :(
- I have made a set of rules that will declare my power and control over the rulers of the nonreligous and Church because I want too and I like making the emperor mad :)
- NOOOOO!!
- In 1073, Hildebrand was an Italian monk and he became Pope Gregory VII. He decided that the emperor should not have control and power over the Church and it led to conflict between Pope Gregory and Henry IV who was the Holy Roman king.
- I heard that you appointed a bishop for the city of Milan after I made the rules. Not the right decision.
- I can’t hear you!!!!
- Pope Gregory wanted that only the Roman pope had the right to appoint bishops and this became an issue because both king and pope wanted to choose their bishops who would support them. Bishops had much power over lots of land and wealth.
- Come inside. We should talk.
- Gregory set out a list of rules that was declaring his power to make decisions and rule over the Church and non-religious rulers. Anyone who claimed to have any power was asked to be gone. Henry was furious.
- The Concordat of Worms will lessen our problems.
- But most likely our conflict will not be resolved.
- The conflict became worse when Henry decided to ignore the pope and assigned his bishop for the city of Milan, Italy. Gregory was offended which caused him to excommunicate Henry.
- Henry had no power without his subjects following him and he wanted to end his excommunication very badly. He went to go and meet Pope Gregory in an Italian Castle to try and work out some of their conflicts. Gregory forgave Henry but conflicts still continued.
- I have no power, I need to end my excommunication quickly.
- They reached an agreement called the Concordat of Worms. This gave the Church the authority to appoint bishops and allowed emperors to hand out fiefs to bishops. Although this agreement was a better way to settle arguments, conflict still continued.
