De rebus gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae comitis et Roberti Guiscardi ducis fratris eius (1075 - 1100) Geoffrey Malaterra |
| Quotation |
Sed quia ipse dux jam ante annum, contra voluntatem Graecorum, qui eidem urbi maxima ex parte principabantur … electione Latini frustrata,
dum a duce conceditur ut de sua gente archiepiscopum sibi Graeci pro libitu eligant, favorem illorum adeptus, urbem quoque illorum deditione obtinuit. |
| Translation |
However a year earlier, on the death of the Greek archbishop, the duke had caused a Latin successor to be elected, against the wish of the Greeks who were in the majority in that town. Since the election of the Latin had not yet been confirmed by consecration, it was now quashed, and the duke conceded that they might freely elect an archbishop from heir own Greek race; hence he obtained their support and they surrendered the town to him. |
