Finding, however, that it was advisable to See also:cement the ties between the See also:empire and the papacy, John gave unhesitating support to See also:Lambert in preference to See also:Arnulf, and also induced the council to determine that henceforth the See also:consecration of the popes should take See also:place only in the presence of the imperial legates. The sudden See also:death of Lambert shattered the hopes which this See also:alliance seemed to promise. John was succeeded by See also:Benedict IV.
