In the mean while, great business there was, & much posting went to and fro, between the king, the archbishop, and the Pope, but nothing was done: for neither would the Pope agree to the king, neither would the King condescend to the Archbishop. At last, the Archbishop seeing by no means he could prevail against the king: thought to revenge himself by excommunication,1 and so went about the same. The king having word thereof by the Countess Adala his sister, desireth her to come to him to Normandy, and bring Anselmus with her: whereupon (through the means of the Countess) reconcilement was made, & the archbishop was restored to his former possessions again. Only his return into England was differed,2 because he would not communicate with those whom the King had invested. So the king took his passage over into England, and Anselm made his abode at the Abbey of Beck.
