Canossa
Italian village in Emillia-Romagna, 20km south west of Reggio nell'Emilia. The
ruins remain of the castle where, in January 1077, the Emperor Henry IV humiliated
himself before Pope Gregory VII. This event is the origin of the phrase 'to go
to Canossa', i.e. to humiliate oneself before a person whom one has previously
resisted. © JM Dent/Historybookshop.com |
