§ 12. To this Council the Emperor Henry sent his Agents to complain that Ferdinand the great, King of Castile, refused subjection to the Emperor, and claimed some such title to himself, and (now ignorance, superstition, and interest having made the Clergy the Rulers of Kings and Kingdoms) the Emperor desireth that King Ferdinand may be excommunicate unless he will submit and surcease, and all the Kingdom of Spain be interdicted (or forbidden Gods worship.)1 The Prelates perceived how they were set up by this motion, and made Kings of Kings, and they thought the Emperor's motion reasonable, and without hearing King Ferdinand made themselves judges and sent him word that he must submit and obey or be excommunicated and bear the interdict. The King took time to answer, and calling his own Bishops together found them of the same mind and spirit, and so was forced to promise submission. This Baronius, an. 1055. writes ex Jo. Mariano; and Binnius p. 1126.
