  Walter Of Coutances - LoveToKnow 1911
The archbishop of Rouen sided with the barons and John, and sanctioned Longchamp's deposition - a step which was technically warranted by the powers which Richard had given, but by no means calculated to protect the interests of the crown.
The archbishop did good service in the negotiations for Richard's release, but subsequently quarrelled with his master and laid Normandy under an interdict, because the border stronghold of Château Gaillard in the Vexin had been built on his land without his consent.
The archbishop accepted the French conquest of Normandy with equanimity (1204), although he kept to his old allegiance while the issue of the struggle was in doubt.

The Rollonid Principality on the death of its founder was a small area centered upon Rouen, surrounded by neighbors hungry to reclaim what had been lost to the foreigners, and allied with the king who was losing the Frankish civil war; its future was still very much in doubt.
