Timeline

  1. 1101–1105Rome · Papal StatesAround 1101 Paschal II continued the line of church independence begun under Urban II, confirming the excommunication of Henry IV in 1103. He promoted the implementation of Cluniac reform in Germany, resisted imperial control over episcopal appointments, while also dealing with Norman issues in southern Italy and church territories.
  2. 1106–1110Saci · LazioAfter Henry IV's death, Paschal II and Henry V held negotiations at Saci and elsewhere in 1107, the two sides putting forward diametrically opposed plans for imperial church lands and investiture. By 1110 negotiations broke down, the pope refused to crown the emperor, and imperial-papal conflict intensified, ultimately leading to Henry V's entry into Rome with an army in 1111.
