Appearance at Canossa

In 1075, Pope Gregory VII VII) Taking advantage of the unstable domestic situation in the German Holy Roman Empire, he ordered Henry IV to give up the power to appoint bishops of various churches in the territory, declared that the status of the pope was higher than all secular powers, and could even remove the emperor. In response, Henry IV convened a conference of German bishops and declared a confrontation to depose the pope. So Gregory VII issued an edict deposing Henry IV, excommunicating him, and revoking the oath of allegiance of his subjects to him. Under the severe situation of various internal and external troubles, Henry IV could no longer take into account his noble status as emperor, and staged a German version of "pledging forgiveness under a thorn."

In January 1077, Henry IV, who was only 26 years old, stood with his wife and children in the courtyard of the snow-covered Canossa Castle. According to the custom, the young Kaiser stood barefoot and covered with felt in the cold snow and begged the Pope to receive him and forgive him, a man who had confessed his sin. And Gregory VII, the son of a humble craftsman, forced the noble Kaiser to wait outside for three whole days. After he suffered all the mental insults, he came out and gave the penitent a gift. The kiss of forgiveness. This is what is known in history as the "Appointment of Canossa".

On the surface, Pope Gregory VII was the winner of this struggle, but the real winner was Henry IV. This visit not only made the princes who opposed him lose the excuse to establish another emperor, but also won widespread sympathy from the people. In the end, Henry IV expelled the pope, and the pope died in loneliness in Italy. Henry IV had the last laugh with a pragmatic attitude of a man who could bend and stretch.
