Henry I. and Henry II., was brought into the exchequer in See also:early See also:life (1130). Soon after his See also:uncle See also:Roger of See also:Salisbury secured him the bishopric of Ely, much to the disgust of the monks. Nigel was 'at first retained in See also:Stephen's service; but, like his uncle and his See also:brothers, incurred the suspicion of leaning towards the Angevin See also:interest, when Roger of Salisbury and See also:Alexander of See also:Lincoln were arrested by Stephen (See also:January 1139). Nigel attempted to maintain himself in his see by force of arms, but he was forced to See also:fly to the empress at See also:Gloucester He was reconciled to Stephen in 1142 and restored to his see; but he now became involved in a See also:quarrel with the powerful Henry of See also:Winchester. Ranulph, his first treasurer and representative at Ely, had been extortionate and dishonest, and the monks accused Nigel, probably with some See also:justification, of spending the estates and treasures of the see in maintaining knights and gaining See also:court See also:influence. Henry of Winchester, who can have had little sympathy with bishops of Nigel's type, took up their quarrel, and Nigel was forced to go to See also:Rome. Fortunately, both in these quarrels and in all his difficulties with Stephen, he secured the strong and See also:uniform support of the See also:Roman See also:Curia. At the See also:accession of Henry II. (1154) Nigel was summoned to reorganize the exchequer. He was the only surviving See also:minister of Henry I., and his knowledge of the exchequer business was unrivalled. This was the See also:great See also:work of his life. It is to the work of his son See also:Richard, the Dialogus de Scaccario, that we are indebted for our knowledge of the See also:procedure of the exchequer as it was See also:left by Nigel. The bishop took little See also:part in politics, except as See also:art See also:administrator. In 1166 his See also:health was broken by a paralytic seizure.
