[4] In order to resolve the situation without relinquishing his royal right to choose the pope acknowledged by England, the king sent two clerks to Rome to negotiate with Urban about English recognition and the pallium for Anselm.
[3] Walter was authorized to give the king "all that he wanted" in return for William's recognition of Urban.
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.
Walter remained in England to collect Peter's Pence, a traditional payment from the English bishoprics to the papacy.
