  1. Bellringer • Download today’s notes from website (Popes & Kings 2) • Answer the following question in your notebook, or in your PowerPoint notes: • Imagine that you’ve made your parents very angry, and they’ve punished you in the worst way possible. What is the punishment? How would you try to win back their favor?

  2. Popes and Kings • The Big Idea • Popes and kings dominated European society in the Middle Ages. • Main Ideas • Popes and kings ruled Europe as spiritual and political leaders. • Popes fought for power, leading to a permanent split within the church. • Kings and popes clashed over some issues.

  3. Main Idea 2:Popes fought for power, leading to a permanent split within the church. Although the people of western Europe considered the pope the head of the church, eastern European people disagreed.

  4. Pope Leo • Pope Leo IX believed that all Christians should answer to the pope, and that the pope should be the leader of the whole Christian church. • The bishop of Constantinople disagreed with Pope Leo and wouldn’t recognize his authority, so Pope Leo excommunicated him. • This decision created a permanent split in the church. The Eastern Orthodox Church was formed by Christians who agreed with the bishop. • The rest of the church became known as the Roman Catholic Church. The pope became one of the most powerful figures in western Europe.

  5. Main Idea 3:Kings and popes clashed over some issues. As popes continued to try to increase their power, they came into conflict with kings.

  6. Power Struggle • Pope Gregory VII came to power in Rome. • The pope disapproved of a bishop chosen by the Holy Roman Emperor, Henry IV. • Henry became angry and tried to have the pope removed; however, the pope excommunicated Henry. • Henry had to beg the pope for forgiveness to get back into the church. • This incident made the pope more powerful than the emperor at that time.

  7. Primary Sources Activity • Read the “Points of View: View of Power” at the top of p. 526 and answer the following questions: • 1. Who wrote these two letters? • 2. When were they written? • 3. To whom were they written? • 4. Why do the writers matter to history? • 5. How do their points of view differ? Why?

  8. Connect! • 1. In what region did many bishops not recognize the pope’s authority? • 2. What might have happened if Leo IX had not excommunicated the bishop of Constantinople? • 3. Why did Pope Gregory VII excommunicate Emperor Henry IV? • 4. Why do you think the pope made Henry wait 3 days before forgiving him? • 5. What compromise solved the conflict over who had the right to choose bishops?
