1) Canon Law is a law made by the Church and it goes for all medieval Christians, such as kings and peasants. It was a law that instructed people about things like marriage and religious practices. If people violated any of these laws they would be put in court. The two biggest punishments were excommunication, where you would be kicked out of that Church. And interdict where many sacraments and religious services could not be performed in the king's land, and also would force a German emperor to submit to the pope's commands.
2) If a king did not fallow the canon law, he would be banished which meant that he would be denied salvation. And also would free all of the king's vassals from their duty to him. If he continued to disobey, then he would be given an interdict.
