Pope Paschal II crowns Henry V as Holy Roman Emperor on April 13, 1111, in St. Peter's Basilica, following a violent conflict where Henry took the Pope prisoner, forcing the coronation and secure rights of imperial investiture. This coerced agreement was later repudiated by the church, continuing the Investiture Controversy.
