Concordat of Vienna
1448
Frederick III and Pope Nicholas V signed a concordat resolving disputes between the papacy and the empire over ecclesiastical appointments. The agreement gave the emperor substantial control over German bishoprics while preserving papal formal authority. The arrangement held for three centuries. The compromise governed Church-state relations in the German lands until the Reformation shattered it entirely a century later.
