The Church and the Empire by D. J. Medley
"The Church and the Empire" by D. J. Medley is a historical work examining the centuries-long power struggle between the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire. Beginning with Constantine's conversion to Christianity, the work traces how popes and emperors clashed over control of papal elections, bishop appointments, and ultimate authority. From the Investiture Dispute and Henry IV's penance at Canossa to the conflicts with Frederick Barbarossa, Medley chronicles the escalating confrontations that
shaped medieval European politics and the enduring question of spiritual versus temporal power. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
