It took years for her to succeed, through kind patience, in changing his warped nature, and their marriage at last became almost a happy one. Then a reaction set in. The bishops, headed by Anno, the arbiter of 1064, had become too domineering to the Cluniacensic party at Rome, which saw in them a danger to its own hierarchical supremacy and suppressed them.
