Reading edition

Vita Eadw. 410. “Romæ ab Apostolico Nicolao, honore quo decebat susceptus, à latere ejus in ipsâ Romanâ synodo ab eo coactus sedit secundus.” So Gisa (u. s.) says “post peractam ibi synodum.” William of Malmesbury (Gest. Pont. 154) calls it “synodus quam contra simoniacos coegerat [Nicolaus].” He also mentions the honours shown to Tostig. But this synod cannot have been, as Æthelred (387) makes it, the Second Lateran Council. That assembly, according to the Chronicle of Bernold of Constanz (Pertz, v. 427), was held in 1060, but the real date was April 13, 1059. See its Acts in Pertz, Legg. ii. Ap. 177. Milman, iii. 49. And cf. above, p. 452.
