Synod of Worms

Synod of Worms

The Synod of Worms was an ecclesiastical synod (and German national council or Reichstag) convened by the Emperor Henry IV in January 1076, at Worms, Germany. It was intended to agree a condemnation of Pope Gregory VII, and Henry's success in achieving this outcome marked the beginning of the Investiture Controversy.

Of the 38 German bishops, 24 attended [I. S. Robinson, "The Papacy 1073-1198" (1990) p. 402.] . Henry's supporters included Adalbero of Würzburg, William I, Bishop of Utrecht and Henri de Verdun. The Cardinal Hugh of Remiremont, who had already cut ties with the Pope, spoke damningly against Gregory [Robinson, p. 37.] , who was declared deposed. Gebhard of Salzburg, a supporter of Gregory, stayed away.
