Despite initial Papal support for his accession, Henry continued the Investiture Controversy started by his father against the Pope's insistence on control all ecclesiastical appointments in Germany. Invading Italy twice ( 1110 and 1116 ) and imprisoning Pope Paschal II and sixteen Cardinal s for two months in 1111 . A Norman army sent by Prince Robert I Of Capua to rescue them was turned back by the count of Tusculum and Henry extracted the guarantee of investiture he wanted. On a later expedition he set up a rival Antipope in opposition to Paschal in Rome. Henry eventually secured a compromise (the Concordat Of Worms , 1122 ) under which the Pope would invest church appointees with their spiritual offices, the Emperor with their lay rights. In 1114 , Henry married the young Matilda , daughter of Henry I Of England , at Mainz . They had no surviving children, though Hermann of Tournai mentions a child who died soon after birth.
