By Papal Authority

Henry IV of germany instates his cousin as bishop of

Milan

The pope is infuriated he alone instates the

Authority

Henrys excommunication has destroyed any

Ties to the papacy

He's now denounced as king

A new

Position's up for grabs

The countess of Canossa

Houses the pope on his way

Henry arrived unwanted

I

Must have council with him He was denied three

Times

Henry finds himself outside on his knees and

Humbled

This snow has made me humble

This snow has

Made me realize not to question your rights

Please

Meet with me I beg of you

Re communicate me as king

Henry now heads home to quell the rebel dukes and

Restore central power that was once his

It's a hard

Fight but we're going home NO ONE WILL STOP ME Now

I turn towards Rome to deal with this man of God that

Is stuck with power

He flees at the sight of my

Return

NOW WHO'S KNEELING PLEASE TELL ME
