| At the Roman synod of 1075, Gregory signaled his determination to bring an end to the practice of lay investiture. |
| Ultimately, the issues of ecclesiastical homage and lay investiture forced Anselm into a second exile. |
| He did indeed go into exile rather than abandon his observance of the papal decree of 1099 condemning the lay investiture of clergy with churches and ecclesiastical offices. |
| Henry renounced lay investiture, but prelates were to continue to do homage for their fiefs. |
| He also points to them often in the context of simony and occasionally in connection with lay investiture. |
| The council prohibited simony and lay investiture, declaring that no priest or cleric could accept a church from a layman. |
