| Additional information |
Henri V's deniers struck at Trèves (Trier) fall within a turbulent stretch of the Investiture Controversy — the prolonged conflict between the emperor and the papacy over who held the right to appoint church officials. Henri had actually imprisoned his own father, Henri IV, in 1105 to force his abdication, in part to rehabilitate imperial standing with Rome. The archbishopric of Trier was a key ecclesiastical power center, and coinage struck there carried the implicit authority of both secular and church jurisdiction.
