Then were sent to Anselmus certain bishops to move and prove his mind, declaring what charges and pains the king had been at in his behalf, to procure the pall for him from Rome, which otherwise would have stood him in great expenses, and that all this the king hath done for his sake. Wherefore it were good reason and convenient, that he (to gratify the king) should something condescend to his request again.1 But with all this, Anselm the stout Archbishop would not be moved, wherefore the king seeing none other remedy, was compelled to grant unto him the full right of his Archbishopric. And so the day appointed when the pall should be brought to Canterbury (being carried with all solemnity in a thing of silver) the Archbishop with a great concourse of people, came forth barefoot,2 with his priestly vestments, after a most goodly manner to meet the same. And so being brought in, was laid upon the altar, whilst Anselm (spreading over his shoulders his popish vestments) proceeded unto his popish mass.
