Pope Gregory VII and Emperor Henry IV came into conflict over the issue of?
The dispute between Emperor Henry IV and Pope Gregory VII was called the Investiture Controversy. During the Middle Ages, the Church owned extensive property. Also, the bishops were regarded for some legal purposes as lords, and some bishops had extraordinary political powers. For example, three bishops were among the seven men who elected emperors of the Holy Roman Empire. The result was that the political authorities saw great importance in having bishops who were politically aligned with their interests. There had always been a principle that the Church chose its own bishops, and the purchase of ecclesiastical authority was a sin called "simony." Nevertheless, secular authorities encroached more and more on the authority of the Church, and insisted on choosing their own bishops. When Gregory VII became pope, he decided to put an end to civil authority over the Church. He decreed that only the Church had the right to install, transfer, or remove a bishop. Meanwhile, Emperor Henry IV continued to install his own men as bishops. When Henry installed his own chaplain as Bishop of Milan, after the Church had already chosen its own bishop, the pope excommunicated Henry. Henry went to the pope, and stood in a hair shirt, barefoot, in the snow, to show his apology was sincere, an act known as the Walk to Canossa. The pope lifted the excommunication. The German nobles, however, saw Henry's excommunication as a opportunity to replace Henry, and raised their own man, Rudolph von Reinfeld, to the throne to replace him. Henry reacted by capturing and killing Rudolph and appointing his own pope, Clement III, to replace Gregory. Needless to say, Gregory excommunicated Henry again. Henry got Norman allies, who controlled southern Italy, to attack Rome and sack the city. When this happened, the citizens of Rome were so angry with Gregory that he had to leave the city with the Normans for protection. He died soon after that. The Investiture Controversy continued for a long time after Gregory died. Subsequent popes continued to stir up rebellion in Germany until Henry renounced his antipopes, and eventually his own son, who became Emperor Henry V, rose in rebellion in support of the pope.
