Middle+Ages+Letter

Dear Father, Hello it is me your second son Henry V right now I am sitting on my throne and relaxing. I am sending this letter to you for two reasons to ask you how it is going in jail, by the way I am sorry for joining your enemies, then imprisoning you and then forced you to abdicate which again I am sorry for. The second reason I decide to send you a message was to remind you that you are a good man and have a very great carrier. One of these was when you reassert your father’s imperial rights throughout the empire and also to build up a new strong imperial domain in Saxons. But sadly that led to uprisings which Saxons and southern German nobles combined against him. Also was the battle against Pope Gregory VII which was over the imperial right appointed or invest churchmen with their offices. This had Gregory’s opposition to appointing an archbishop of Milan in it. This turned even worse for you when Gregory had you excommunicated and then suspended from office. That caused German nobles to rebel and summon the Pope to come to Augsburg and sit in judgment on their ruler. But luckily you escaped through the Alpine passes and then you met Pope Gregory at Canossa. When you left a man named Rudolf came and took over but, you came back and defeated him. This then helped you take the crown and become emperor again. I hope that this letter also you to understand that you were a great man and that you lived a great life. Well I hope that your life in jail is going fine so goodbye.

Love your Son, Henry V
