investiture
noun
in·ves·ti·ture in-ˈve-stə-ˌchu̇r 
-chər,
-ˌtyu̇r,
-ˌtu̇r
Did you know?
In its original meaning, an investiture was the clothing of a new officeholder in garments that symbolized power. The Middle Ages saw much debate over the investiture of bishops by kings and emperors. These rulers felt that high religious offices were theirs to give as rewards for someone's loyal service or as bribes for someone's future support; the popes, on the other hand, regarded these investitures as the improper buying and selling of church offices. The investiture struggle caused tension between popes and monarchs and even led to wars.
