Galicia , behind its mountain shield , had become almost a third power rather than a province , ruled in uneasy alliance by the bishop of Compostela and Count Pedro Froilaz . The " Historia Compostelana " says that Alfonso , his son-in-law Raymond , and his daughter Urraca , with the counsel of the clergy and people of Compostela , chose a Cluniac monk to be the new bishop . Looking back from the threshold of the thirteenth century , Walter Map recorded that the entire process was splendidly handled in the time of Henry I of England . He ceased to be the ward of the count of Traba and the bishop of Compostela and was elevated to a much grander destiny than any that they could offer him . Whatever theory told him , experience counseled caution , moderation , and persistent search for that happy formulation that elicits compliance because in it grudging consent and the fear of authority combine in roughly equal measure . “ There aren ’ t really a lot of precedents or guidelines the paper works within . But here too it would be unwise to see the crown as innovating to meet a new need in society . Urraca 's reactions and solutions must of necessity vary from those of Henry I of England , Louis VI of France , or Henry V of Germany . Stephen I of England had one although it was carried rather on two pack horses . How Pope Calixtus was persuaded to intervene in the affairs of the realm and effectively to set at naught the designs of his legate and the prelate of Compostela is impossible to say . After receipt of the letters of Calixtus II threatening excommunication and interdict , Urraca , the " Historia Compostelana " [ 156 ] tells us , reopened negotiations with the archbishop of Compostela .
