After this, the Emperor having subdued his enemy, called a Council of divers Bishops: of Italy, Lombardy, and Germany, at Bryxia, an. 1083. §1066Where he purged himself, and accused the Pope of divers crimes:1 as, to be an usurper; perjured; a Necromancer; a sorcerer; and sower of discord; &c. When, notwithstanding he swore with others, in the the time of his father, Henricus the third, that during his time, and his sons, they would suffer none to aspire, (nor they themselves) to the seat of Papacy, without the consent of the Emperors. Wherefore, that Council condemned this Gregory, to be deposed: and sent the tenor to Rome, and elected Gimbertus, Archbishop of Ravenna, named Clemens the third, whom the Emperor by force of arms placed in that Sea. Not long after this, Hildebrand died in exile,2 and as Antoninus writeth, lying on his death bed, he bewailed his faults, and sent a Cardinal to the Emp. desiring forgiveness, absolving also him & his part-takers, quick, & dead, from the sentence of excommunication.
