Under Leo, he became the chiefest of papal secretaries and on a trip through Apulia in 1053 , he received from Bishop John of Trani the letter from Leo, Archbishop Of Ochrid , criticising Western rites and practice. He translated the Greek letter into Latin and gave it to the pope, who ordered a response drawn up. This exchange led to Humber being sent at the head of a legatine mission with Frederick of Lorraine, later Pope Stephen IX , and Peter, archbishop of Amalfi , to Constantinople to confront Patriarch Michael Cerularius . He was cordially welcomed by the Emperor Constantine IX , but spurned by the patriarch. Eventually, on 16 July 1054 , despite the fact that Leo had died, he laid the Bull of Excommunication on the high altar of the church of the Hagia Sophia which caused the Great Schism . In his later years, he was made librarian of the Papal Curia by Stephen IX, his former legatine companion, and he penned the reform treatise ''Lib tres adversus Simoniacos'' (both 1057 ). SOURCES
