In 1102, a council of bishops and abbots was convened in London under the leadership of Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury. This assembly aimed to restore ecclesiastical discipline and address various issues that had arisen due to moral decay within the church. The council condemned simony, mandated appropriate vestments for clergy, and established numerous regulations regarding the conduct of clerics, marriage restrictions, and church governance. The reforms were intended to strengthen the Christian faith in England and ensure that church practices aligned with religious principles.
