Note

Henry III (Holy Roman Empire), called The Black (1017-56), German king
(1028-56) and Holy Roman emperor (1039-56), son and successor of Conrad
II. When, in 1041, the Bohemians invaded the lands of the Poles, who were
Henry's vassals, Henry Brought them to submission, compelling the duke of
Bohemia to recognize his suzerainty. Between 1043 and 1045 Henry
campaigned successfully to restore the deposed Hungarian king to his
throne and for a short time afterWard controlled Hungary. Henry was
greatly concerned with Church reform and went to Rome in 1046 to settle
the conflict caused by three rival claimants to the papacy. Setting aside
the three antiPopes, he appointed a German Bishop, who, as Pope Clement II
(fl. 1032-47), crowned Henry Holy Roman emperor. During the rest of his
reign Henry appointed three succeeding Popes, all Germans. Returning to
Germany, he contended with domestic rebellions. Henry supported the
Church's attempts to check clerical abuses; he also strengthened the power
of the papacy, which proved disadvantageous for his son, Henry IV.
