Burchard Of Basle
Burchard of Basle, also known as Burkart of Fenis, Burchard of Hasenburg or Burchard of Asuel, was a Bishop of Basel in the eleventh century and a supporter of Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV (1056–1106). Biography Burchard belonged to the family of the counts of Neuenburg or Neuchatel and was born in the mid-eleventh century. Having entered the ecclesiastical state, in 1072 he was made Bishop of Basel by Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor and King of the Germans; in recognition of this favour, Burchard was loyal to the king and became one of his advisers. In Henry's first difficulties with the Saxons (1073–75), Burchard rendered him full assistance. When the Investiture Controversy between Henry and Pope Gregory VII (1073–85) broke out, Burchard was among the bishops who in January 1076 assembled at Worms, proclaimed the deposition of the pope, and wrote him an insulting letter. Together with Bishop Huzmann of Speyer, Burchard also went to Northern Italy to induce the Lombard ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Synods
A synod () is a council of a Christian denomination, usually convened to decide an issue of doctrine, administration or application. The word '' synod'' comes from the meaning "assembly" or "meeting" and is analogous with the Latin word meaning "council". Originally, synods were meetings of bishops, and the word is still used in that sense in Catholicism, Oriental Orthodoxy and Eastern Orthodoxy. In modern usage, the word often refers to the governing body of a particular church, whether its members are meeting or not. It is also sometimes used to refer to a church that is governed by a synod. Sometimes the phrase "general synod" or "general council" refers to an ecumenical council. The word ''synod'' also refers to the standing council of high-ranking bishops governing some of the autocephalous Eastern Orthodox churches. Similarly, the day-to-day governance of patriarchal and major archiepiscopal Eastern Catholic Churches is entrusted to a permanent synod. Usages in diff ...

Antipope Clement III
Guibert or Wibert of Ravenna ( 10298 September 1100) was an Italian prelate, archbishop of Ravenna, who was elected pope in 1080 in opposition to Pope Gregory VII and took the name Clement III. Gregory was the leader of the movement in the church which opposed the traditional claim of European monarchs to control ecclesiastical appointments, and this was opposed by supporters of monarchical rights led by the Holy Roman Emperor. This led to the conflict known as the Investiture Controversy. Gregory was felt by many to have gone too far when he excommunicated the Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV and supported a rival claimant as emperor, and in 1080 the pro-imperial Synod of Brixen pronounced that Gregory was deposed and replaced as pope by Guibert. Consecrated as Pope Clement III in Rome in March 1084, he commanded a significant following in Rome and elsewhere, especially during the first half of his pontificate, and reigned in opposition to four successive popes in the anti-imperial ...
