  9. Pope Gregory’s Reaction • He excommunicated Henry IV • Excommunicate means to remove someone from the church • Henry was removed from the church and deposed as the German king

  10. Henry IV apologizes… • Henry IV asks Pope Gregory VII for forgiveness by standing barefoot in the snow for three days outside where the Pope was staying. • Pope Gregory VII had to forgive him and Henry IV became emperor again. • Henry IV later invaded Rome and Pope Gregory VII fled

  12. The Lasting Effect… • In 1122 church leaders & nobles agreed to have the pope select church officials at the Concordat of Worms • The pope establishes his dominance and power over the monarchy temporarily • The continued conflict will eventually lead to a split between monarchy and papacy
