Document Summary
After hearing about the excommunication, the lords of saxony rose in revolt. After 3 days, the pope forgave him: henry"s revenge. He immediately began to plot his revenge after. In the 1080s, he marched to italy and laid siege to rome. Gregory activated the papal alliance with the normans. The normans decided to plunder the city: gregory"s end. Later popes like urban ii and calixtus ii carried on the fight. It led to the concordat of worms in 1122: concordat of worms. At worms, henry iv"s son henry v agreed with calixtus ii on a compromise. Bishops would be elected and invested by the church. They would still have to do feudal homage to the king or emperor. He was active in shaping the church"s foreign policy. He reached out to the greek christians of byzantine. By the late 11th century, byzantine had more problems. They migrated into the middle east part of the islamic world.
