At this Council, and the other before set forth by Anselmus, Herbert, B. of Norwich had much trouble with the Priests of his Diocese: for they would neither forsake their wives,1 nor leave their Benefices. And requiring Anselmus counsel therein, was willed by him to account them as rebels, and to persuade the people to drive them forth of their Country, and to place monks in their rooms. Like business also had Gerard, Archb. of York: which (notwithstanding his excommunications) he could hardly bring to pass.
