In the fourth year of K. William, between Easter and Whitsuntide, was held a Council at Winchester, of the Clergy of England: In which were present, two Cardinals, sent from pope Alexander the second, Peter and John. In that Council, (the king being present) were deposed many Prelates of the English Nation, without any evident cause, that the kings Normans might be placed.1 Among whom, Stigandus the Archbishop was put down for three causes. The first. for that he had wrongfully holden the bishopric, while Robert the Archbishop was living. The second, for that he received the Pall of Benedict, who was deposed. The third, for that he occupied the Pall without lawful authority of the Court of Rome.
