2 Event Lanfranc, Ep. no. 7    ‘We [Alexander 1] wish to draw your eminence’s [William 1] attention to the case of Æthelric 64, formerly bishop of Chichester, who was deposed by representatives of our legates: it does not seem to us to have been fully examined. So we have ruled that he should be restored to his original position, as canon law decrees; and have referred the case to our brother … Archbishop Lanfranc 1, to be thoroughly re-examined and concluded in accordance with canon law.'
