After that Anselmus had been thus elected to the see of Canterbury, before he was fully consecrate, the king commoned with him (assaying by all gentle manner of words to entreat him) that such lands & possessions of the church of Cant. as the king had given and granted to his friends since the death of Lanfrancus: they might still enjoy the same,1 as their own lawful possession, through his grant and permission. But to this, Anselm in no case would agree. Whereupon the king conceiving great displeasure against him, did stop his consecration a great season, till at length in long process of time,2 the king enforced by the daily complaints and desires of his people and subjects for lack of an Archbishop to moderate the church, was constrained to admit and authorise him unto them. Thus Anselm with much ado,3 taking his consecration, and doing his homage to the king, went to his see of Cant. And not long after, the king sailed over to Normandy.
