  12. Excommunication and Interdict • Excommunication: one person is banished from the Church. • Interdict: many sacraments and religious practices are not allowed to be performed in the king’s land. • The Pope used these two punishments to hold kings in check.

  13. Pope Gregory VII vs. Henry IV • The Church was not always happy with the kings of Europe. • They particularly did not like the a ceremony called lay investiture in which kings appointed church officials. • In 1075 Pope Gregory VII banned lay investiture. This made the Henry IV upset.

  14. The Problem Continues • Henry IV continued to practice lay investiture and was excommunicated by Gregory VII. • The bishops and other church officials sided with the Pope forcing Henry IV to seek forgiveness. • This was granted in 1077.
