Henry IV (Holy Roman Empire) (1050-1106), Holy Roman emperor (1056-1106). He was born in Goslar, Germany. A struggle with Pope Gregory VII over the authority to appoint church officials culminated in Henry declaring the pope deposed in 1076. Pope Gregory then excommunicated him. When the nobles threatened not to recognize Henry unless he secured absolution, Henry did penance and obtained readmission to the church.
The German nobles, however, elected Rudolf, Duke of Swabia, to replace Henry. This election caused a civil war. In 1080 the pope recognized the kingship of Rudolf and again excommunicated Henry, who declared Pope Gregory deposed and recognized Pope Clement III in his stead. Rudolf was killed in 1080, and Henry regained control of Germany. In 1084 he captured Rome, where he was crowned emperor by Clement III. A Norman army then drove Henry from Rome. In 1105 Henry was taken prisoner by his son, later Emperor Henry V, and forced to abdicate.
