In 1071 he went with Lanfranc to Rome to receive the pall.
They challenged the Romaic Empire's progress in Armenia, and in A.D. 1071 five years after the Norman founded at Hastings the strong government which has been the making of England the Seljuk Turk shattered at the battle of Melasgerd that heritage of strong government which had promised so much to Greece. Melasgerd opened the way to Anatolia.
The influence of climatic and other environmental factors has been ably treated by Prof. See also Chap. III. in Arminius Vambéry Der Islam im neunzehnten Jahrhundert.
