	The Salian Century (Stefan Weinfurter) - book review
		His death probably averted a rebellion, but the minority of Henry IV was only a lull in the conflict: at one point the young king was "kidnapped" by archbishop Anno II of Cologne and his later attempts to exert his power provoked the Saxon War (1073-1075) and the election of an anti-king in 1077.
		Henry IV came into conflict with the reform papacy under Hildebrand/Gregory VII and was excommunicated in 1076, but though he got the worst of the ideological conflict he prevailed militarily.
		Henry V's reign saw the Investiture Conflict combine conflicts between the emperor and the pope and between the emperor and the princes (in this case the bishops); the 1122 Concordat of Worms settled this by defining the obligations of the bishops as vassals.

		Having at first rejected the demand of the Bohemians for greater religious liberty, the emperor was soon obliged to yield to superior force, and in 1609 he acceded to the popular wishes by issuing the Letter of Majesty (Majestatsbrief), and then made similar concessions to his subjects in Silesia and elsewhere.

	Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Germany's Emperor Henry II (1002-1024) was behind the early stages of the reform movement sponsored by Rome and certain bishops and monasteries, but he met with considerable opposition from bishops and abbots whom he deposed.
		Later Emperor Henry IV would be at loggerheads with the pope over the emperor's right to appoint popes and interfere in church affairs.
		When the eleventh century opened the Church in the East was in pretty good shape because Basil II (963-1025) had advanced the Eastern Empire to one of law and order, and under his leadership the Empire was stronger and larger than it had been since the reign of Justinian I, 500 years before.
