As a bishop Dietrich was an utter failure, and he spent the last two years, before he was removed by the Pope for his incom- petency, at the court of Rome, pushing his claims there. Although under Pope Innocent the Seventh Dietrich again obtained an appointment as Abbreviator, he there...after re- ceived no important preferment, and was a soured and dis- appointed man.
