ItS most important immediate result was the revival of strained relations with the See also:empire, due to the fact that the See also:emperor's traditional rights in the See also:matter of papal elections had been completely ignored. See also:Stephen, See also:cardinal See also:priest of S. Chrysogonus, was sent to the See also:German See also:court to See also:attempt to allay the consequent See also:ill-feeling, but was not received. See also:Pope See also:Nicholas, moreover, had offended the German bishops by what they regarded as arbitrary interference with their rights: he had refused to send the See also:pallium of See also:Arch-See also:bishop Siegfried of See also:Mainz; he had sent a See also:sharp See also:letter of admonition to See also:Archbishop See also:Anno of See also:Cologne. The resulting opposition culminated in a See also:synod of German bishops, perhaps See also:early in 1()Or (its date and See also:place of See also:meeting are unknown), at which the decrees of the pope, including the new electoral See also:law, were annulled, while he himself was deposed and his name ordered to be expunged from the See also:canon of the See also:Mass. That these resolutions were not followed by any further See also:action was due to the See also:war of parties in See also:Germany, which enabled the papacy to ignore a demonstration of See also:opinion to which no effect could be given. Nicholas II. died at See also:Florence in See also:July ro6r. Personally he was one of the least important of the popes, and the See also:great importance of the events of his pontificate is due to the fact that, as See also:Peter Damian wrote (Epist. i. 7), he possessed in See also:Hildebrand, Cardinal See also:Humbert and Bishop See also:Boniface of Albano acutissimi et perspicacis oculi. His Diplomata, epistolae, decreta are in See also:Migne, Patrolog. See also:Lat.
