He was participating in a conspiracy against Henry VI. suspected and deported to Germany, but was able to return to his diocese in 1203. Philip of Swabia had released the Sicilian prisoners in 1198. The archbishop is first to be proven in the vicinity of the Pope, since Salerno was still in the hands of Markwards of Annweiler and Diepolds of Acerra , with whom peace was made in 1206. Diepold's support for Otto IV. Nicholas withdrew by retreating to Olevano . In 1215 he took part in the Fourth Lateran Council . The reconciliation with Frederick II took place in 1220, but the appointment as legal advisor on the parish of Salerno was not confirmed in 1221. Nicholas was buried in the cathedral of Salerno, which he probably had equipped with a magnificent pulpit.

It was not until 1226 that the Amalfi Cesarius de Anglo, Honorius III. Had transferred from Famagusta to Salerno in 1225 , succeeding him in Salerno, as Emperor Friedrich initially refused to give his consent.
