church of St. Mary which he had chiefly built at vast expense[1].
1052Stigand, bishop of Winton, invaded the archbishopric[2]. Some MSS. of the Saxon Chronicle however state that the King conferred it on him: "Rex autem dedit Stigando capellano suo archiepiscopatum Kantiæ;" be that as it may, he could not obtain the pall from Stephen IX, and therefore prudently retained the bishopric of Winchester. By bribery he obtained a pall from Benedict X in 1058; but that Pope being dethroned by Nicholas II, Stigand was not recognised as archbishop. He retained however both sees until the council of Winchester, held in the octave of Easter 1070, when he was degraded and condemned to perpetual imprisonment[3].
