In 1077 Holy Roman Emperor Henry IV was forced to stand barefoot in the snow outside Canossa Castle pleading for forgiveness after upsetting Pope Gregory, the head of Europe. Reminded of this watching yesterday’s news. 
Replying to @DavidTCDavies
So a German emperor stands outside an Italian castle to avoid excommunication from the catholic church. Er....yeah it's almost deja vu!
