Henry, however, had his revenge; he renewed the war, and Gregory, forced to flee from Rome, died in exile at Saler'no (a. D. 1084). 104. The successors of Gregory steadily adhered to his policy, and as the Papacy remained un-Qr, fs changed while all Europe was shaken by reVO-successorslutions, every day brought fresh accessions to the Papal side. The kings of Portugal, Aragon, England, Scotland, Sardinia, the two Sicilies, and others became vassals to the Roman pontiffs.

He humbled King John of England, and imposed a tribute upon him. In fact, he claimed to be Sovereign of Europe, --an earthly King of kings. 106. The narrative of how this claim was maintained, and how, on the other hand, it was opposed, fills a large chapter in the history of the Middle Ages. The full recital cannot be given here. It is even hard to say which party won in the end.
