Both the Emperor & the Vatican will select the Pope. A truce is made between the Empire & the Pope.

The King was recognised as having the right to invest bishops with secular authority ("by the lance") in the territories they governed, but not with sacred authority ("by ring and staff");

under his oath of fealty
