Editing Pope Nicholas II (section)

===Subordination of Milan===
Meanwhile, Nicholas II sent [[Peter Damian]] and Bishop [[Anselm of Lucca]] as legates to [[Milan]], to resolve the conflict between the [[Pataria|Patarenes]] and the archbishop and clergy. The result was a fresh triumph for the papacy. Archbishop [[Guido da Velate|Wido]], facing ruinous ecclesiastical conflict in Milan, submitted to the terms of the legates, which subordinated Milan to Rome. The new relation was advertised by the unwilling attendance of Wido and the other Milanese bishops at the council summoned to the [[Lateran Palace]] in April 1059. This council not only continued the Hildebrandine reforms by sharpening the discipline of the clergy but marked an epoch in the history of the papacy by its famous regulation of future elections to the Holy See.
