Henry IV: Letter to Gregory VII (1076) “Henry, King not by usurpation, but by the pious ordination of God, to Hildebrand, now not Pope, but false monk:      You have deserved such a salutation as this because of the confusion you have wrought; for you left untouched no order of the Church which you could have made a sharer of confusion instead of honor, of malediction instead of benediction.      For to discuss a few outstanding points among many: Not only have you dared to touch the rectors of the holy Church – the archbishops, the bishops, and the priests, anointed of the Lord as they are – but you have trodden them underfoot like slaves who know not what their lord may do. In crushing them you have gained for yourself acclaim from the mouth of the rabble. You have judged that all these know nothing, while you alone know everything. In any case, you have sedulously used this knowledge not for edification, but for destruction, so greatly that we may believe Saint Gregory, whose name you have arrogated to yourself, rightly made this prophecy of you when he said: “From the abundance of his subjects, the mind of the prelate is often exalted, and he thinks that he has more knowledge than anyone else, since he sees that he has more power than anyone else.”      And we, indeed, bore with all these abuses, since we were eager to preserve the honor of the Apostolic See. But you construed our humility as fear, and so you were emboldened to rise up even against the royal power itself, granted to us by God. You dared to threaten to take the kingship away from us as though we had received the kingship from you, as though kingship and empire were in your hand and not in the hand of God.”
