The half-century struggle for power between kings and the pope is a conflict over the predominance of secular power over the influence of the Catholic Church in the life of the state.

This enmity did not bring anything good to the population of the kingdom, but Henry the Fourth continued to fight Pope Gregory the Seventh.

Henry the fourth was intolerant of internal opposition and brutally cracked down on its members. The Pope excommunicated King Henry from the Church. But the king enlisted the support of the Italian Normans and opposed the pope. Having conquered Rome, the Normans subjected the city to ruin and plunder. The pope, frightened, left Rome and lived in exile for the rest of his life. Pope Clementius, elected by the king, placed the crown (which Pope Gregory the Seventh handed over to Duke Rudolph) on the head of Henry the Fourth.
