 Canossa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The pope had prohibited lay control over the placing of clergy in the church (particularly the investiture of bishops) and, by securing the forgiveness of Pope Gregory VII, the emperor was also securing the imperial power that had been jeopardized by his excommunication.
It was a practice that illustrated the church's monopoly on legitimacy and the power of the Pope.
The end of the need for European rulers to go to Canossa is best displayed by Napoleon, who crowned himself to show he did not need the church's authority to rule.

 Canossa
With her expired the main line of the noble house she represented; though Canossa, now made a fief of the empire in spite of Matilda's do-nation, was given to a family which claimed descent from Bonifazio's brother Conrad, a young man killed in the battle of Coviolo.
Matilda here-upon persuaded the Holy Father to place himself in safety among her strongholds of Canossa.
Meanwhile the adherents of the Church were mustered in Matilda's fortress; among whom may be mentioned Azzo, the progenitor of Este and Brunswick ; Hugo, Abbot of Clugny ; and the princely family of Piedmont.

 How Castiglione Read Cicero. by Jennifer Richards.
I apply this insight to Canossa's apparently conservative treatment of nobility, and show how his sprezzatura demystifies (rather than mystifies) the source of noble self-expression.
On both occasions Canossa claims to be too inexpert to teach us good practise.
In his prefatory letter, he adopts a similarly circuitous style of argument to that of book 1, modifying his own apparently conservative conception of nobility.

 Magdalena of Canossa (1774-1835) - biography
MAGDALENA OF CANOSSA, was a woman who believed in the love of the Lord Jesus and, sent by the Holy Spirit among those most in need, she served them with a Mother's heart and an Apostle's zeal.
However, the Holy Spirit urged her to follow a new path: to allow herself to be loved by Jesus Crucified, to belong to Him alone, in order to dedicate herself exclusively to those in greatest need.
Magdalene sought and found her first companions called to follow Christ, poor, chaste, obedient and who were to be sent out as witnesses of His unconditional Love towards all people.

 On ‘going to Canossa’
In the winter of 1076—1077 the king of Germany was deposed and excommunicated by Pope Gregory VII because the king opposed the Pope’s decrees enforced by papal legates against simony [selling Church benefices] and clerics who were not living a celibate life.
Since the Reformation this submission [whose terms he repudiated not long afterwards] of the king to the Pope at Canossa has been perceived as a humiliation of the royal power and has left a mark on the mythology of Germany reflected in Bismarck’s comment in 1872: “We will not go to Canossa.”
After the Pope freed the Germans from their oath of allegiance to King Henry, his support dried up and his situation became desperate: no one would even talk to him — let alone feed or support him.

The glory of the Empire almost collapsed in the Investiture Controversy, in which Pope Gregory VII declared a ban on King Henry IV (king 1056, Emperor 1084–1106).
Meanwhile, the German dukes had elected a second king, Rudolf of Swabia, whom Henry IV could only defeat after a three-year war in 1080.
Although this was taken back after the 1077 Walk to Canossa, the ban had wide-reaching consequences.

Upon the death of Henry IV Matilda seemed to have lost her strength, but, as a matter of fact, she became even better aware of her power and she acted more effectively than ever.

As the majority of the princes of the empire now took sides against the king, Henry wished to be reconciled with the pope, and consequently traveled to Italy in the middle of a severe winter, in order to meet the pope there before the latter should leave Italian soil on his journey to Germany.
The monumental tomb of the countess, made by Gian Lorenzo Bernini and his workshop, consists of a sarcophagus carved with the Submission of the emperor Henry IV to Pope Gregory VII at Canossa, a dedicatory inscription held by two angels, and the statue of Matilda.
After Henry's excommunication in 1080, Matilda was intermittently at war with him until his death (1106), sometimes donning armor to lead her troops in person.
