 Pope Gregory VII - Sketches of Church History
Another thing an which Gregory set his heart, as a means of increasing the power of the popes, was to do away with what was called "Investiture." This was the name of the form by which princes gave bishops possession of the estates and other property belonging to their sees.
Gregory, therefore, ordered that no bishop should take investiture from any sovereign, and that no sovereign should give investiture; and out of this grew a quarrel which lasted fifty years, and was the cause of grievous troubles in the Church.
Gregory entreated the help of Robert Guiscard, the chief of some Normans who had got possession of the south of Italy; and Guiscard, who was glad to have such an opportunity for interfering, speedily came to his relief and delivered him.

 January 6: HISTORY (jan6his.htm)
Pope Gregory VIII was only Pope for less than three months, but in this short span of time he was able to bring stability to the papacy, reconcile with the powerful German king and emperor Frederick Barbarossa convincing him to lead the Third Crusade in the aftermath of the disaster of Jerusalem.
While Gregory VIII’s legacy is for launching the Third Crusade, he was first and foremost a peacemaker whose philosophy was that the only way to defeat the Saracen threat in the Mid East was through a unified Christian world.
Gregory had realized all of Christian Europe needed to be united in a cause and time was of the essence.

 Gregorian Calendar Life of Christ Age of Aquarius
By the time of Pope Gregory VIII, in the late 16th century, the deviation, according to their calculations, amounted to 10 days.
Gregory then promulgated an edict establishing that 3 days would be dropped from the calendar every 400 years, thus correcting the discrepancy between the Julian calendar and the solar year.
We compensate, somewhat, for this situation by not (usually) including the turn of the century as a leap year (2000 was an exception to this rule).
