A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . d from the temporal point of view,although this time the bishops did not stand aloof, as they had done 228 ^^>£ 0^ THE SAXON POWER AND HENRY I. at the election of Arnulf. They gave the newly chosen monarchthe consecration of the church by anointing and crowning him, andthereby confirmed their reconciliation with their late opponents, thesecular nobles. The only remaining question was whether thisreconciliation would really lead the two classes to act in unisonfor the welfare of the realm. In the reign of Conrad I. of Franconia, who ruled from 911to 918 (Fig. 57), we may see the same inconsistent policy whichdestroyed the effect of Arnulfs early successes. Like Arnulf,Conrad at first relied mainly on the support of the lay nobles, andaccordingly was on good terms with the dukes. Conrad marriedthe widow of Duke Luitpold of Bavaria, a sister of Berthold andErchanger, the Swabian messengers of the exchequer, and thusgained powerful relatives in this quarter, and became the step-father.
