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. The broader power struggle between the Church and monarchs had continued for some time. The agreement was that the Holy Roman Emperor had the right to confer secular authority on bishops, but the Church had the right to confer religious authority.
