Notes

Note 1

During Henry's campaigns in Italy, he took Eupraxia-Adelheid with him and kept her sequestered at Verona. She escaped in 1093 and fled to Canossa, where she sought the aid of Matilda of Tuscany, one of Henry's enemies. She met with Pope Urban II, and on his urgings Eupraxia-Adelheid made a public confession before the church council at Placentia. She accused Henry of holding her against her will, of forcing her to participate in orgies, and of attempting a black mass on her naked body.
