The reign of Pope Gregory VII (1073-85), who gave his name to an era of Church reform, is critically important in the history of the medieval church and papacy. Thus it is surprising that this is the first comprehensive biography to appear in any language for over fifty years. H. E. J. Cowdrey presents Gregory's life and work in their entirety, tracing his career from early days as a clerk of the Roman Church, through his political negotiations, ecclesiastical governance, and final exile at Salerno. Full account is taken of his turbulent relations with King Henry IV of Germany, from his first deposition and excommunication in 1076, to the absolution at Canossa and the imposition of a second sentence in 1080. Pope Gregory was also a contemporary of William the Conqueror, and, as the author shows, fully supported his conquest of England. Gregory VII is presented as an individual whose deep inner belief in iustitia (righteousness) did not waver in the face of new circumstances, although his broad outlook underwent changes. Deeply committed to the traditions of the past and especially to those of Pope Gregory the Great, his reign prepared the way for an age of strong papal monarchy in the western Church.

The eleventh-century papal reform transformed the western European Church and society and permanently altered the relations of Church and State in the west. The reform was inaugurated by Pope Leo IX (1048-54) and given a controversial change of direction by Pope Gregory VII (1073-85). This book contains the earliest biographies of both popes, presented here for the first time in English translation with detailed commentaries. The biographers of Leo IX were inspired by his universally acknowledged sanctity, whereas the biographers of Gregory VII wrote to defend his reputation against the hostility generated by his reforming methods and his conflict with King Henry IV. Also included is a translation of Book to a Friend, written by Bishop Bonizo of Sutri soon after the death of Gregory VII, as well as an extract from the violently anti-Gregorian polemic of Bishop Benzo of Alba (1085) and the short biography of Leo IX composed in the papal curia in the 1090s by Bishop Bruno of Segni.

Excerpt from The Life and Times of Hildebrand: Pope Gregory VII With Henry III the Empire attained its maximum of power, its maximum of influence upon the Roman See. In Rome no German sovereign had ever been so absolute. He became hereditary Patrician, and wore constantly the circlet of gold and the green mantle which were the badges of that office, seeming, as one might think, to find in it some further authority than that which the Imperial name conferred. To Henry was granted the nomination of the Pope, and by his instrumentality German after German succeeded to the Papacy, at the bidding of a ruler so powerful, so severe, and so pious. A mere chance checked the course of Imperial patronage. The great Emperor died suddenly in 1056, leaving as his successor his son, a mere child, the unfortunate Henry IV. Under the line of German popes the Papacy learned to borrow the strength of the Imperial system under which it had grown to power. So strengthened, the Papacy aimed at independence. A critical step was taken by entrusting the Papal election 'to the cardinal-bishops, priests and deacons, which aimed a blow at Imperial interference. Politically, an alliance with the Norman settlers in Southern Italy enabled the popes to count upon a counter-balance to the Imperial power. The Papacy slowly prepared to assert its independence.

Delve into the life and complex legacy of Pope Gregory VII, an enigmatic figure who left an indelible mark on the Catholic Church and the course of history. In this meticulously researched biography, the multifaceted persona of Hildebrand of Sovana comes alive, tracing his transformation into Pope Gregory VII and his tumultuous reign from 1073 to 1085. Renowned as a great reforming pope, Gregory VII's influence was felt across the corridors of power in both the ecclesiastical and political realms. His pivotal role in the Investiture Controversy, his fiery disputes with Emperor Henry IV, and his unwavering assertion of papal supremacy and authority reshaped the landscape of medieval Europe. Unfolding against a backdrop of power struggles, spiritual fervor, and ideological clashes, this biography uncovers the nuances of Gregory VII's character. From his rigorous enforcement of clerical celibacy to his confrontations with simony and his bold excommunications of Henry IV, his actions were both audacious and divisive. His complex relationship with the Church's history, his contemporaries, and the larger socio-political landscape is explored with meticulous attention. Gregory VII's enduring influence, even after his death, is illuminated through the contrasting narratives that emerged in later generations. From charges of necromancy and torture to admiration for his moral force and religious conviction, his legacy is a tapestry of reverence and criticism. This biography offers a comprehensive exploration of a pivotal figure whose imprint on the Catholic Church and Western history resonates to this day. It invites readers to engage with the intricate interplay of power, faith, and ambition in the life of a saintly yet controversial pope.
