I think that is the government
In France, under Francis I (1515-1547), the power of the monarch was reinforced. Nobles lost some of their privileges of local jurisdiction to the royal courts. Appointment of royal officials in the Church (which was permitted after the Concordat of Bologna of 1516), also undermined the power of the nobility, as many more royal officials took the best positions and enforced the royal will in provinces more than before.

Concordat of Worms
The Treaty called the Concordat of Worms (1122) gave the church sole power to appoint bishops and abbots in the Holy Roman Empire. It resolved the Investiture Controversy, a power struggle between the papacy and secular rulers over the appointment of church officials.
The Concordat of Worms ended the right of Kings to meddle in the affairs of the Church. It realised the Kings had the right to invest secular power in Bishops, but not sacred power. This stopped the Holy Roman Emperors thought that they had right, granted by God to name who would be Pope. Furthermore, one side effect and long-delayed result was an end to the belief in the divine right of Kings.
The Concordat of Worms, sometimes called the Pactum Calixtinum by papal historians, was an agreement between Pope Calixtus II and Holy Roman Emperor Henry V on September 23, 1122 near the city of Worms. It brought to an end the first phase of the power struggle between the Papacy and the Holy Roman Emperors. The King was recognized as having the right to invest bishops with secular authority ("by the lance") in the territories they governed, but not with sacred authority ("by ring and staff").~DoRtHy~
The Concordat of Worms was an agreement that ended an important controversy between the Church, under Pope Calixtus II, and the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V.
