also departed for Rome with some monks to procure the
confirmation of his election from the Apostolic See.
The bishop of Winchester wrote in his behalf to the
emperor, Frederick IL, to enlist his sympathies for John
Blund. This came to the ears of Pope Gregory, who hated
Frederick. The Pope made the excuse that John Blund
enjoyed two benefices without having sought a dispensation
for so doing, and annulled his election, as he had done those
of Radulph de Neville and Prior John. Then S. Edmund
was elected. He had served Pope Gregory in preaching the
crusade, and Gregory did not anticipate that he would obstruct his attempts to exact tribute from the English Church
and people, and to supply his Italian favourites with rich
benefices in England.
Hubert de Burgh, chief justiciary, was a faithful, energetiq
and sagacious minister of the king. He held in check the
turbulent nobility, and by vigorous measures cleared the
land of the banditti who infested it. On the other hand, he
disregarded every right, liberty, and law which impeded his
course. In 1231 Peter des Roches, bishop of Winchester,
a Poitevin, returned from the East, where he had spent five
years, and he speedily succeeded in undermining the influence of De Burgh with the king. Henry dismissed his
justiciary, and the bishop of Winchester became his counsellor. The administration of Des Roches lasted only two
years. His appointment of Poitevins to the chief places of
the household, and his introduction of foreign garrisons into
the kingdom, gave the greatest offence. The indignant
barons refused to attend the great council; and, finally, a
small section, under Richard, Earl of Pembroke, took up
arms against the ministers. This party allied themselves
with the Scots and Welsh; ravaged the lands of their
enemies, obtained several successes over the royal troops,
and set Hubert de Burgh at liberty. Peter des Roches took
