What type of power did popes and kings have during the late middle ages?
During the late Middle Ages, popes wielded significant spiritual authority and influence over Christian kingdoms, often intervening in political matters and asserting the church's supremacy over secular rulers. Kings, on the other hand, derived their power from divine right and territorial control, often seeking to consolidate their authority and minimize papal interference. This dynamic frequently led to conflicts, such as the Investiture Controversy, where disputes arose over the appointment of church officials and the balance of power between the monarchy and the papacy. Ultimately, the interplay between royal and papal power shaped the political landscape of medieval Europe.
In the 11th century did popes have full power?
In the 11th century, popes did not have full power in the way we might understand it today. While the papacy was becoming increasingly influential in spiritual and political matters, especially under popes like Gregory VII, the authority of the pope was often challenged by secular rulers and other church leaders. The Investiture Controversy, which arose during this period, highlighted the struggle between papal and royal authority, indicating that the pope's power was significant but not absolute. Thus, while the papacy was on the rise, it was still navigating complex power dynamics.
