Some of the German princes tried to depose Henry and place Rudolf, Duke of Swabia, on the throne. Civil war continued until 1080 when Rudolf was killed at Merseburg. Pope Gregory again excommunicated Henry who then succeeded in having the pope deposed and replaced with Guibert of Ravenna as Clement III.

Henry's eldsest son, Conrad, who had been crowned joint king in 1087, joined those rebelling against Henry. Henry deposed Conrad in 1098 and defeated his opponents.
