St. Anselm was appointed the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], [[England]], which he accepted reluctantly. He became determined to reform the English [[Catholic Church]] and he fought against efforts by the King of [[England]] to control or interfere with the Church. At one point Anselm presented his grievances against [[William II|King William]] to [[Pope Urban II]]. These conflicts were precursors to a huge dispute between a pope and English king centuries later, which caused the king to form his own church and split from Roman authority. | St. Anselm was appointed the [[Archbishop of Canterbury]], [[England]], which he accepted reluctantly.
