Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Hildebrand, St. Gregory VII The first ten centuries of the Christian era had closed in a period of indescribable chaos when the stormy dawn of the eleventh century rose upon a disorganised world. Those ten centuries had, indeed, seen great things accomplished. The first great Roman Empire had fallen before the strokes of Goth and Hun and Vandal, and had risen again, like the phoenix from its ashes, in the Empire of Charles the Great. That, too, had vanished, and its shadowy sceptre was claimed by German sovereigns, who held little of the substance of a realm that had once stretched from the Atlantic to the Adriatics The old heathen world had passed away in a storm of persecution directed against the Faith of the Fisherman; and the Church, strong in her days of suffering, had, on her human side, expended her strength and nerve in a struggle for worldly power. The fall of the Empire of Charlemagne about the end of the ninth century had left Italy divided into a number of independent states, over some of which the Pope claimed control.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Times of Hildebrand: Pope Gregory VII With Henry III the Empire attained its maximum of power, its maximum of influence upon the Roman See. In Rome no German sovereign had ever been so absolute. He became hereditary Patrician, and wore constantly the circlet of gold and the green mantle which were the badges of that office, seeming, as one might think, to find in it some further authority than that which the Imperial name conferred. To Henry was granted the nomination of the Pope, and by his instrumentality German after German succeeded to the Papacy, at the bidding of a ruler so powerful, so severe, and so pious. A mere chance checked the course of Imperial patronage. The great Emperor died suddenly in 1056, leaving as his successor his son, a mere child, the unfortunate Henry IV. Under the line of German popes the Papacy learned to borrow the strength of the Imperial system under which it had grown to power. So strengthened, the Papacy aimed at independence. A critical step was taken by entrusting the Papal election 'to the cardinal-bishops, priests and deacons, which aimed a blow at Imperial interference. Politically, an alliance with the Norman settlers in Southern Italy enabled the popes to count upon a counter-balance to the Imperial power. The Papacy slowly prepared to assert its independence.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two hundred years which cover, roughly speaking, the actual period of the Holy War, are crammed with an interest that never grows dim. Gallant figures, noble knights, generous foes, valiant women, eager children, follow one another through these centuries, and form a pageant the colour and romance of which can never fade, for the circumstances were in themselves unique. The two great religious forces of the world—Christianity and Islam, the Cross and the Crescent—were at grips with one another, and for the first time the stately East, with its suggestion of mystery, was face to face with the brilliant West, wherein the civilisation and organisation of Rome were at last prevailing over the chaos of the Dark Ages...

Download or read book The Papal Reform of the Eleventh Century written by and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eleventh-century papal reform transformed western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni. These fascinating narrative sources bear witness to the startling impact of the papal reform and of the 'Investiture Contest', the conflict of empire and papacy that was one of its consequences. An essential collection of translated texts for students of medieval history.
