After Hadrian, succeeded Alexander 3: 1and at the same time the emperor, with 9. Cardinals, set up Victor 4. so that there fell much debate about the matter, till at the last, Alexander, by the help of Philip the French king, obtained the sea, against whom, the Emperor made his power: and coming to Rome, forced the Pope to sail to Venice: whither he sent Otho his son after. Who attempting rashly against his fathers commandment, was overcome, and taken. Whereupon the Emperor (to redeem his son) was fain to seek peace: and coming to Venice at S. Marks Church,2 where he should take his absolution, he was bid to kneel at the popes feet: and the pope setting his feet upon the Emperors neck, pronounced the verse of the Psalm: Thou shalt walk upon the Adder and the Basilisk: and shalt tread down the Lion, and the Dragon. To whom the Emperor answered: not to thee, but to Peter. The pope again both to me, & to Peter. In fine, the Emperor was absolved, on condition, he would receive Alexander for true Pope: and restore again to the Church all that he had taken away.
