the Pope renewed his predecessor's declarations against simony, clerical marriages, and the acceptance, by priests, of ecclesias- tical offices from laymen. Prince Conrad, son of the Emperor, was aided in his rebellion against his father. Finally, the Empress Adelaide (or Praxedis) roused indignation by her charge against Henry IV. her husband, of most disgraceful and outrageous conduct The Empress repeated her denunci- ations before the great General Council convoked by the Pope at Placentia i...n 1095, and her husband was laid anew under the ban of excommunication, which had also been launched against King Philip I. of France, for bigamy. A noteworthy occurrence at this meeting was the appearance of envoys from the Byzantine Emperor Alexios Comnenos, come to plead for aid against the Moslems menacing Constantinople. The assem- bled multitude (about 4,000 ecclesiastics and some 30,000 laymen) were deeply moved by the reports of these ambassa- dors, and when the Council of Clermont met, in November of the same year, the time was ripe for the inauguration of the Crusades.
