December 1075 CE

The Archbishop of Magdeburg eventually concedes and requests the terms to which the King will hold the rebels.

Henry demands a short imprisonment for all the leaders, as well as confiscation of their fiefs and their redistribution among loyal Imperial partisans.

As harsh as the terms are, the complete victory Henry had gained at Langensalza convinces them to accept.

In a humiliating gesture, the rebel bishops, nobles and peasants walk barefoot between the ranks of the King's army and submit to him.

The King now convenes a meeting of princes at Goslar on Christmas to determine the future of Saxony; he ends up freeing Otto of Nordheim and making him his viceroy to Saxony.

Henry considers the Saxon question settled, but the Investiture conflict will quickly undo the peace.
