St Anselm reluctantly accepting the Archbishopric of Canterbury, 1093 (1864)
St Anselm reluctantly accepting the Archbishopric of Canterbury, 1093 (1864). Anselm (1033-1109), an Italian-born Benedictine monk was an influential philosopher and theologian, who became Archbishop of Canterbury in 1093. He was reluctant to accept the investiture from King William II (Rufus) of England, believing that it was the prerogative of the Pope, Urban II, whom William refused to recognise. The king eventually relented and allowed Anselm to be invested by the Popes legate. Anselm proposed reforms to the Church, which were deeply unpopular, and William banished him and confiscated the property of the diocese of Canterbury when he travelled to Rome to seek papal support for his proposals. Anselm was recalled by Williams successor, Henry I

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history as St Anselm reluctantly accepts the Archbishopric of Canterbury in 1093. The image showcases the Italian-born Benedictine monk, who was not only an influential philosopher and theologian but also a man deeply committed to his faith. However, he faced great internal conflict when confronted with the investiture from King William II of England. Anselm firmly believed that it was the Pope's prerogative to appoint him as Archbishop, yet William refused to recognize this authority. After much deliberation and negotiation, the king eventually relented and allowed Anselm to be invested by the Popes legate. The photograph beautifully portrays Anselm's inner struggle through his hesitant expression and body language. Dressed in his traditional cassock, he stands before King William with a sense of reluctance etched on his face. Despite accepting the position, Anselm faced numerous challenges during his time as Archbishop. His proposed reforms were met with deep unpopularity among church officials and even led to banishment by King William who confiscated property belonging to the diocese of Canterbury. However, all was not lost for St Anselm as he was later recalled by Henry I after Williams' reign ended. This powerful image serves as a reminder of St Anselm's unwavering dedication to his beliefs and highlights both personal sacrifice and religious conviction in pursuit of justice within Catholicism.
