Pope Zechariah (as Pope Gelasius writeth to Anastasius the Emperor) did depose from his kingdom the King of France,1 not so greatly for his evil behaviour, as that he was unprofitable to so great a power: and placed in his room Pippin father of Charles the Emperor: and absolved and made free all the Frenchmen from the oath of their fidelity unto the king: which thing holy Church many times doth of her authority, as in delivering the Soldiers ⟨p. 222⟩from the bond of their oath, which they have made to their Emperor and Captain. This thing also holy Church practiseth of those bishops,2 which by the Apostolic authority are deposed and put down from their pontifical degree. Ibidē. cap. Alius.
