Matilda of Canossa had secretly transferred her…
June 1095 CE
Matilda of Canossa had secretly transferred her property to the Church in 1089, before her marriage to Welf II of Bavaria.
In 1095, a furious Welf leaves her and, together with his father, switches his allegiance to Henry IV, possibly in exchange for a promise of succeeding his father as duke of Bavaria.
