After the unification of Pope and Emperor, he resigned his office and ended his life as a canon in Lausanne . During his tenure, the Tower of Ouchy was erected and construction of a new cathedral began in 1173. Outwardly, he sought a balance between the Emperor, the Counts of Geneva and the Zähringers .
