Losinga visited Rome for a second time in 1116, representing the king in a dispute between the monarch and Anselm, the Archbishop of Canterbury. It may have been on the return journey that he fell severely ill at Placentia (modern Piacenza); other sources suggest he suffered this illness on a possible third journey to Rome, which he did not complete, instead awaiting his fellow ambassadors at Placentia, before returning to England with them.[7]
One of Losinga's last public appearances was at the funeral of Queen Matilda on May Day 1118.[7] He died on 22 July 1119[8] and was buried before the high altar of Norwich Cathedral.[7]
