1About the end of the third year of this king, which was the computation of our Lord 1103. a variance fell between king Henry and Anselm: the occasion whereof was this. Ye heard a little before how Henry the foresaid king had of his own authority invested 2. bishops, our Roger which was his Chancellor,2 bishop of Salisbury: and another Roger bishop of Hereford. Besides them divers also he invested, and divers other like things took he upon him in the ecclesiastical state, which he might lawfully do, Gods word allowing well the same: but because it was restrained by the bishop of Rome for him so to do: this Anselm swelled, fretted, and waxed so mad, that he would neither consent to it, neither yet confirm them: nor communicate nor talk friendly with them, whom the king had instituted and invested: but opprobriously called them abortives, or children of destruction: disdainfully rebuking the gentle king as a defiler of Religion and polluter of their holy ceremonies: as witnesseth Polydorus. With this uncomely outrage the King was much displeased (as he might full well) and required Gerard the Archbishop of York,3 (as he ought him allegiance) to consecrate them: who without delay did so, well performing the same, saving that one William Gifford to whom the king had given the Bishopric of Winchester, refused to take his consecration by the hands of the Archbishop of York. For the which cause the King worthily with him offended, deprived him both of bishopric and goods, and banished him the realm.
