 Archbishop Adalbert of Mainz characterized the immediate reign of Henry V as ""oppression" of "church and empire"" and the upcoming ""election" should bring "freedom" to the church and "peace" to the people".French sources in particular consistently judged Henry negatively, stylized him as a troublemaker and as a traitor or tyrant.For the French abbot Suger of Saint-Denis, Henry was a troublemaker, who died justly within a year of his attack on France in 1124.
