Internally there were disputes between the Church and the lay powers. The Investiture Dispute in the 11th Century‚ a dispute between the Pope and European monarchs over the right to select bishops and church officials‚ was the most significant and ended with the triumph of church authority over the lay power of the Holy Roman Empire.

The church was the most important part of everyday life back then‚ and it pretty much influenced everything in society at that time.
