'''Walter
==Early career==
Walter was appointed a cardinal by Urban in 1091<ref name=CardinalsList>{{cite web|url=
In 1095 the papacy was disputed between two claimants, [[Antipope Clement III|Clement III]] and Urban. King William had not recognized either, but Anselm, prior to his election as archbishop, had recognized Urban, and wished to go to Urban to receive his pallium. William would not allow Anselm to go to Rome nor acknowledge any pope until the king had chosen which pope to recognize, and called the [[Council of Rockingham]] to persuade Anselm to wait, but the council did not settle matters to the king's satisfaction.<ref name=Mason139>Mason ''William II'' pp.
==Legate in England==
Walter did not meet with Anselm when he landed at Dover, instead going directly to meet the king.<ref name=Cantor91/> Walter was authorized to give the king "all that he wanted" in return for William's recognition of Urban.<ref name=Rufus342/> The king's chief negotiator was [[William de St-Calais]], the [[Bishop of Durham]].<ref name=Cantor92>Cantor ''Church, Kingship, and Lay Investiture'' p. 92</ref> The medieval writer [[Hugh of Flavigny]] said that Walter expressly conceded that no more papal legates would be sent to England without William's permission, for the length of William's life.<ref name=Rufus342/> Papal approval of the king's acts in the dispute was also granted.<ref name=Cantor92/> William then attempted to get the legate to depose Anselm, but was unsuccessful. Hugh also accused Walter of taking a bribe and attempting to get Anselm to swear fealty to the pope and [[Saint Peter]]. In the end, a compromise was reached, which limited the ability of the papacy to interfere in the English Church in exchange for the king's recognition of Urban.<ref name=Rufus342>Barlow ''William Rufus'' pp.
When time came to give Anselm his pallium, the first suggestion that the king give it to Anselm{{#tag:ref|For the broader context of the royal right to invest prelates with their insignia, see [[Investiture Controversy]], which came to a head in the [[Investiture Controversy#English investiture controversy of 1103 to 1107|English investiture controversy]] of 1103 to 1107.|group=notes}} was rejected by the archbishop, and a compromise was reached where Walter put the pallium on the high altar at [[Canterbury Cathedral]] on 27 May 1095, and Anselm took the pallium from the altar. Walter remained in England to collect [[Peter's Pence]], a traditional payment from the English bishoprics to the papacy.<ref name=Rufus345/> Anselm and the legate did not get along well from the start, for Walter said that Anselm's election as archbishop had been made by schismatics, throwing doubt on Anselm's fitness.<ref name=Anselm269>Southern ''Anselm'' p. 269</ref> Relations between Walter and Anselm were further strained later in the summer when the legate wrote a letter to Anselm relaying some accusations against the archbishop made by some of the English bishops.<ref name=Rufus345>Barlow ''William Rufus'' p. 345</ref> Although Walter attempted to discuss church reform with Anselm, Anselm gave the excuse that because an invasion from [[Robert Curthose]] was expected, the archbishop was unable to talk with the legate due to Anselm's military obligations.<ref name=Cantor93>Cantor ''Church, Kingship, and Lay Investiture'' p. 93</ref> Another reason Anselm gave was that nothing could be done about a church council in England without the king's approval.<ref name=Anselm273>Southern ''Anselm'' p. 273</ref>
