political events

The German king Heinrich IV seizes Rome March 24, the Synod of Rome declares Pope Gregory deposed, it recognizes the antipope Clement III, and Clement crowns Heinrich Holy Roman Emperor March 31. The emperor attacks fortresses still in Gregory's hands but retreats across the Alps as Norman forces under Robert Guiscard advance from the south. The Normans sack Rome, Pope Gregory is unable to remain in the ravaged city, and Robert escorts him a few months later to Salerno, where he will die next spring.

Sweden's House of Yngling retains power as Blot-Sweyn (Blot-Sven) ousts Halsten and Ingold Stinkelsson, who have reigned since 1079. Blot-Sweyn will reign only until 1087.

literature

Nonfiction: "Defensio Henrici IV" by Peter Crassus takes the position that neither the pope nor Heinrich's rebellious subjects have any more right to interfere with the emperor's hereditary territorial possessions than they have to take away any person's private property. Crassus teaches Roman law at Ravenna.
