Comparison of Sutri

The settlement of Sutri (also Concordat of Sutri , Treaty of Sutri or Agreement of Sutri ) was an agreement between Henry V and Paschal II in the context of the investiture dispute .

On February 9, 1111, a contract between the Pope and Henry V in Sutri stipulated that the German king waived the right to invest and in return, Paschal II, Henry V crowned Emperor and returned the regalia . The content was announced on February 11, 1111: As a price for the emperor's renunciation of the investiture of bishops, all manors, duties and minting rights conferred on clerical dignitaries should revert to the emperor .

The secular and ecclesiastical princes refused to agree to this agreement. Henry V then captured the Pope and several cardinals . Two months later, Paschalis forcibly agreed to the Treaty of Ponte Mammolo , in which the emperor was granted the right to invest and Heinrich was promised the coronation of emperor.

The settlement represented a secularization . Its implementation had a destabilizing effect, for example, in cases in which church rights holders had also transferred their rights to secular legal entities and these rights were reversed.
