Rebuilding began in 1070 under the first Norman archbishop, Lanfranc ( 1070 – 1077 ).

In 1066 Lanfranc became the first abbot of St Stephen's at Caen, a house which the duke had supposedly been enjoined to found as a penance for his disobedience to the Holy See.

However he repented, confessing his guilt first to Archbishop Lanfranc and then in person to William, who was at the time in Normandy.

Archbishop Lanfranc also wrote a Chronicon Beccense of the life of Herluin, and of the first four abbots, which was published at Paris in 1648.

He is claimed to have studied first in Paris, then in Abbey of Bec in Normandy where ( according to some sources ) he studied under Lanfranc along with Anselm of Canterbury.

He also established a Benedictine monastery, with monks from Bec Abbey in Normandy, which had provided the first two post-Conquest Archbishops of Canterbury: Lanfranc and Anselm.

After entrusting England to his second son, the elder William sent the younger William back to England on 7 or 8 September, bearing a letter to Lanfranc ordering the archbishop to aid the new king.

In panic owing to serious illness in 1093, William nominated as archbishop another Norman-Italian, Saint Anselm of Canterbury — considered the greatest theologian of his generation — but this led to a long period of animosity between Church and State, Anselm being a stronger supporter of the Gregorian reforms in the Church than Lanfranc.

The king appointed Lanfranc, a native of Italy and a scholar and abbot in Normandy, as the new archbishop.

Combined with Walter's position as archbishop, Walter wielded a power unseen in England since the days of Lanfranc.

William, like every other Canterbury archbishop since Lanfranc, maintained that Canterbury held primacy — in essence, overlordship — over all other dioceses in Great Britain, including the archbishopric of York.

In 1072, following the Norman Conquest, William the Conqueror and his archbishop Lanfranc sought to complete the programme of reform.

By the time this letter was received by Lanfranc in Rome, it had been read by several other people ; and as Berengar was not well thought of there, Lanfranc feared his association with him might prejudice his own interests, and laid the matter before the pope, Leo IX, who excommunicated Berengar at a synod after Easter, 1050, and summoned him to appear personally at another to be held at Vercelli in September.

The latest was either Garsenda of Forcalquier, who died in 1242, though her period of poetic patronage and composition probably occurred a quarter century earlier, or Guilleuma de Rosers, who composed a tenso with Lanfranc Cigala, known between 1235 and 1257.

In 1218 – 1220 Genoa was served by the Guelph podestà Rambertino Buvalelli, who probably introduced Occitan literature to the city, which was soon to boast such troubadours as Jacme Grils, Lanfranc Cigala, and Bonifaci Calvo.

Lanfranc was trained in the liberal arts, at that time a field in which northern Italy was famous ( there is little or no evidence to support the myth that his education included much in the way of Civil Law, and none that links him with Irnerius of Bologna as a pioneer in the renaissance of its study ).

Lanfranc was then persuaded by Abbot Herluin to open a school in the monastery.

In this way Lanfranc set the seal of intellectual activity on the reform movement of which Bec was the centre.

At this council Lanfranc obtained the confirmation of primacy that he sought ; nonetheless he was never able to secure its formal confirmation by the papacy, possibly as a result of the succession of Gregory VII to the papal throne in 1073.

By long tradition the primate was entitled to a leading position in the king ’ s councils ; and the interests of the Church demanded that Lanfranc should use his power in a manner not displeasing to the king.

On several occasions when William I was absent from England Lanfranc acted as his vicegerent.

He became Bishop of Sarum, virtually William's choice, by authority of Gregory VII, and was consecrated by Lanfranc ( Archbishop of Canterbury ) about 3 June 1078.

Thomas may also have studied with Lanfranc in Normandy while the latter was teaching at the Abbey of Bec, and some scholars contend that he also studied in Germany and Spain.
