Henry IV asceeded the throne when his father Henry III died in 1056. Henry IVwas six years old so his mother acted as regent for nine years. During that time, the nobles used her weakness to build their own power. In 1062, Henry waskidnapped by the Archbishop of Cologne. Together with Adalbert, the Archbishop of Hamber-Bremen, they governed in his name. The Diet of Tribur(1066) freed Henry from Adalbert, which allowed Henry to reign on his own.
