Antenor s influence in Provence was based on his land holding and on his control of ecclesiastical and secular appointments. He had a large section of followers, but also detractors and opponents both within and without his duchy. In Marseille , Antenor confiscated property from the abbey of Saint Victor de Marseille and ordered the documents recording the abbey s claims to these lands to be burnt, thus demonstrating a common tactic of the age amongst statesmen confiscation of ecclesiastic land to pay followers. ref Geary, Patrick J.
