Of this Anselm it is moreover reported, that he was so ilwilling to take the Archbishopric, that the king had ⟨p. 185⟩much ado to thrust it upon him: and was so desirous to have him take it,1 that the City of Canterbury (which before Lanfrancus did hold but at the kings good will and pleasure) he gave now to Anselm wholly, which was about the year of our Lord, 1093. But as desirous as the king was then to place the said Anselm, so much did he repent it afterward, seeking all manner of mean to defeat him if he might. Such strife and contention rose between them two for certain matters, the ground and occasion whereof, first was this.
