Henry IV walk to Canossa 1077 https://learnattack.de/schuelerlexikon/geschichte/investiturstreit
Henry IV ( German: Heinrich IV; 11 November 1050 – 7 August 1106 ) ascended to King of the Germans in 1056. From 1084 until his forced abdication in 1105, he was also referred to as the King of the Romans and Holy Roman Emperor.
The Road to Canossa, sometimes called the Walk to Canossa or Humiliation of Canossa , refers to Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV’s trek to Canossa Castle, Italy, where Pope Gregory VII was staying as the guest of Margravine Matilda of Tuscany, at the height of the investiture controversy in January 1077 to seek absolution of his excommunication.
