Frederick apparently brought back a substantial amount of additional money (''pecunia'') with him from Constantinople, sufficient to bring suspicion upon him on the part of Emperor Henry III.<ref>Watterich, p. 189. Leo Marsicanus, "Chronica Monasterii Cassinensis", Book II. 86, in: ''Monumenta Germaniae Historia Scriptorum Tomus VII'' (Hannover: Hahn 1846), p. 687: "Comperiens itaque imperator Fridericum a Constantinopoli reversum magnam valde pecuniam detulisse, cepit eum vehementer suspectum habere."</ref> In November 1054, the emperor named [[Gebhard of Dollnstein-Hirschberg]] as the next [[pope]], and the latter was enthroned as Victor II on 13 April 1055. Frederick was back at the papal chancellery in 1055, but, when the Emperor visited Italy in the summer of 1055, he commanded that Victor arrest Frederick and send him to the German court immediately. Frederick sought refuge at Montecassino late in 1055, where he became a monk of the [[Order of St. Benedict]].<ref>Kelly and Walsh, ''Oxford Dictionary of Popes'', pp. 149–150. Ganzer, p. 15. Gregorovius, pp. 94–96.</ref> To escape the imperial and papal agents, with the abbot's permission, he withdrew to the Island of Termiti in the Adriatic, off the port of Termoli.

In August 1056, Pope Victor, harassed by political problems on all sides, travelled to Germany to consult with and gain help from Emperor Henry. He was received by the emperor at Goslar on 8 September, and was with him at [[Bodfeld]] on 21 September; but, on 5 October 1056, Henry died. He was buried at Speyer on 21 October. Shortly thereafter, the imperial court was at [[Aachen]], where the pope enthroned Henry III's six-year-old son [[Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor|Henry IV]]. A reconciliation between the Lorrainers and the imperial family became possible. At a meeting in Cologne in December, the pope reconciled Count [[Baldwin V of Flanders]] and Duke Godfrey of Lorraine, Frederick's brother, to [[Empress Agnes]], widow of Henry III and [[regent]] for their son Henry IV.<ref>Jaffé, p. 551.
