Matilda of Canossa had secretly transferred her property to the Church in 1089, before her marriage to Welf II of Bavaria.
In 1095, a furious Welf leaves her and, together with his father, switches his allegiance to Henry IV, possibly in exchange for a promise of succeeding his father as duke of Bavaria.
