In what year was the first french settlement, called new france, founded at the site of an iroquois village
a. 1593
b. 1497
c. 1600
d. 1608

The first "settlement" was Champlain's house that layed out the foundations of Quebec city, in 1608. However, the french had installed temporary trading post near the Native's territory, namely Tadoussac in 1600, so it depends on what do you consider to be the first settlement: here in Quebec, it is generally considered that New France was founded in 1608 with the "foundation" of Quebec

The investiture controversy began as a power struggle between pope gregory vii (1072–85) and henry iv, holy roman emperor (1056–1106).[2] a brief but significant struggle over investiture also occurred between henry i of england and pope paschal ii in the years 1103 to 1107, and the issue played a minor role in the struggles between church and state in france, as well.by undercutting the imperial power established by the salian emperors, the controversy led to nearly 50 years of civil war in germany, and the triumph of the great dukes and abbots. imperial power was finally re-established under the hohenstaufen dynasty. historian norman cantor:
