King Henry called a conclave of clerics and "deposed" Pope Leo VII. The Pope Excommunicated Henry and "deposed" him as king and emperor. Civil war ensued, and finally they reached a compromise and accommodation with each other." Heinrich IV
William Shakespeare was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's greatest dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon" (or simply "the Bard"). His extant works, including collaborations, consist of some 39 plays, 154 sonnets, three long narrative poems, and a few other verses, some of uncertain authorship. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright. They also continue to be studied and reinterpreted.
