After Bruno's death in 1101 Lanuinus was elected master of the order by the chapter. Paschal II expressed his joyful approval in the bull Quo magnopere desideravimus . This Pope sent Lanuinus as his representative to the Bishops of Mileto and Messina and in 1108 appointed him apostolic visitor to all the monasteries in Calabria .
Under his leadership, the order flourished thanks to the support of the Normans in southern Italy , the Pope and the Bishop of Squillace.
