THE EARLY LIFE AND ELECTION OF URBAN IL 255 Besides occupying himself with filling up vacant sees in Thecoundi Saxony, or in replacing such bishops as Gregory had con- burg, April demned with men who were loyal to the Church/ he ^° ^' presided, by order of the Pope, over an important synod which was held at Quedlinburg (Saxony) in April 1085. At this council matters were discussed that had previously been treated of at a conference at Gerstungen^ betw...een representatives both of the papal and the imperial parties, at which Otho had also presided. The conference had ended in nothing, and at the synod in question, composed of the adherents of the Pope, and of those Saxon bishops, " torches which, in the midst of an evil and perverse people, no whirlwind had been able to extinguish,"^ it was first established that the decisions of the Popes are irreformable. Then, after the passing of disciplinary decrees anent the continence of the clergy, etc., the antipope Guibert and many of his followers were anathematised by name.
