§ 125. CCCXCI. In a Council at Trecae, the Emperor's Investitures are forbidden.
§ 126. CCCXCII. Another at Benevent, An. 1108. of the same, decreeing, That if any take a Benefice from a Lay-man's Presentation, the Giver and Taker shall be Excommunicated.
And one at London to the same purpose, made King Henry consent against investing Bishops or Abbots.
Another at Liege, for St. Guibert's Elevation.
§ 127. CCCXCIII. But the Pope's Lateran Council of 100 Bishops is more considerable, where the Pope breaketh his Oath and Covenant to the Emperor as being constrained, and this by their approbation. The History of the occasion before-mentioned, is here again recited by Binnius out of the Chron. Cassinens. at large; where you may see that the Emperor sware to the Pope, and the Pope was thereupon to crown the Emperor as in his proper Rights. The Emperor claimed to be crowned as to the same Rights that had been granted to Charles, Lewis, Henry, and other former Emperors: This the Pope denied to do, and so they went to fight; where on both sides, between the Romans and Germans, so many thousands were slain, that Tiber was coloured with their blood.
