Germany
Henry V, 1106-1125
- married to Matilda of England -
gathered his power and when he went to Italy, took a big army with him, and Pope Paschal offered
to solve the ‘investiture’ problem by giving up all secular holdings (which other church leaders
objected to, strongly)
- 1115, Matilda, Countess of Tuscany
(northern Italy) died, leaving her lands to Henry (till that time she had been letting the Pope
use her land), setting up further reasons for the Pope and the German king to fight
