Easter Council Explained

The Easter Council was a church council held at Rome by Pope Urban II^[1] on Easter Day, 1099.

St Anselm, then in exile from his see at Canterbury, was in attendance at the request of the Pope.^{[2] [3]}

Among other acts, it strengthened the Catholic Church's opposition to lay investiture and the paying of homage by bishops.
