During these fifteen years, he managed to climb to the highest spheres of power in the bishopric of Utrecht and to assert himself as the most powerful clergyman after the bishop. He carried out a policy of opposition to the bishops John of Nassau (1267–1290) and John van Sierck (1291–1296), with whom he had extremely contentious relations, but was an unfailing supporter of William Berthout (1296–1301).
