Pope Victor had been summoned in 1056 to the Emperor's side, and had been with Henry III when he died at Bodfeld in the Harz on October 5 of that year.
As guardian of Henry III's infant son Henry and adviser of the Empress Agnes, Henry IV's mother and regent, Victor II now wields enormous power, which he uses to maintain peace throughout the empire and to strengthen the papacy against the aggressions of the barons.
He dies shortly after his return to Italy, at Arezzo, on July 28, 1057.
