    Concordat de Worms

    Many of the disputes were with the Holy Roman Empire, which ruled many parts of Germany and Italy .A                                       long dispute, called the Investiture Controversy, centred on whether it was the Pope or the Emperor who                                   appointed bishops. This was finally resolved at the Concordat of Worms, when the Church retained                                 the right to appoint bishops, but in the Emperor’s presence.
