In the year 1059 CE, a notable event in the governance of the Catholic Church occurred when Pope Nicholas II issued the papal bull In nomine Domini. The decree reorganized papal elections by establishing the College of Cardinals as the body responsible for electing the pope. The reform reduced the influence of secular authorities in papal succession and became an important milestone in the broader reform movements of the era.

Culturally and politically, the 1050s were part of the High Middle Ages in Europe, a period marked by ongoing feudal conflicts, the gradual centralization of authority in some regions, and church reform efforts that would shape medieval governance in the coming decades.
