Magna Carta - 1215

Required the monarch to consult with the Great Council of lords and clergy before raising taxes.
In the 1200s, meetings of the Great Council began to include representatives from the towns and lesser knights.

These meetings became known as Parliament.
Two groups eventually formed. House of Lords: nobles
and high clergy (bishops)
House of Commons: lesser knights and middle class citizens (townspeople)
A limited monarchy developed as Parliament increased its financial and legislative powers.

The power struggle between emperors and popes was an ongoing affair throughout the Middle Ages.
The practice of lay investiture, wherein the emperor gave a new bishop the symbols of his office (a ring and a staff), became a big issue in the 1000s.
In 1122, at the Concordat at Worms, a compromise was reached where church officials elected bishops and abbots and invested them with spiritual authority and the emperor granted them lands and secular powers.
