Clement accompanied Henry III in triumphal progress through southern Italy and placed Benevento under an [[Interdict (Catholic canon law)|interdict]] for refusing to open its gates to them. Proceeding with Henry to Germany, he canonized [[Wiborada]], a nun of [[Abbey of Saint Gall|St. Gall]], martyred by the Hungarians in 925. On his way back to Rome, he died near Pesaro on 9 October 1047.<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www2.fiu.edu/~mirandas/bios996-ii.htm#Morsleben| title = Miranda, Salvador.

A toxicologic examination of his remains in the mid-20th century confirmed centuries-old rumors that the pope had been poisoned with [[lead sugar]].<ref>Specht W and Fischer K (1959).
