The Investiture Controversy : Church and Monarchy From the Ninth to the Twelfth Century

"This book describes the roots of a set of ideals that effected a radical transformation of eleventh-century European society that led to the confrontation between church and monarchy known as the investiture struggle or Gregorian reform.
