Both the Vatican & the Emperor have a say in the selection of a Pope. Agrees the Concordat with Calixtus II.
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
