Who entering into league with the king of Lombards, they joined hosts together and besieged Rome. The Pope perceiving that the garrisons and munitions wherewith he had fenced and fortified the city, were not strong ⟨p. 372⟩enough to make his party good against them: trusting on the king of Lombards devotion, he went out with a solemn procession unto him, and with many sweet words of Peter and Paul, 2Princes of the Apostles, who 3with their precious blood had consecrated the church of Rome, and will the godly virtuous catholic king of Lombards hurt the city of that church? and draw on him 4the vengeance of Peter and Paul? he did entreat the king to give the siege over, and make the Deputy and him friends. Afterward a Duke one of the kings subjects, intending to revolt from him, did join in league and friendship with the Roman Prince, Pope Gregory the third, and on the affiance thereof he rebelled. The king having recovered his Dukedom by arms, pursued the Duke to Rome. The Pope, not willing to deliver the rebel, nor able to defend the city against the king who thereupon besieged it, dealt (as his predecessor had done) by supplication. But finding the matter to be past entreaty, and hoping for no aide in Italy: he sent to Charles Martel, the king of Frances high steward, desiring him 5to help the church against the Lombard. Which Charles by an embassage did, & raised the siege. Now when Charles dyed, his son named Pippin succeeded him in office: who, because Chilperike (that was king then) did no part of the kingly duty, but left the charge and burden thereof unto him, he took thereby occasion to make himself king. Which to bring about with greater credit and authority, the Popes advise was asked. Pope Zechariah made answer, that he, who did execute the duty of the king ought to be king rather, then he who did not execute it. Whereupon the French men chose Pippin to be king: the Pope released them of their oath to Chilperike. About a two years after, the king of Lombardy having won Ravenna, (which city was the seat of the Empire in Italy,) thought it meet that Rome and the Roman Dukedom should now be subject to him, who reigned in the imperial city, as it had been afore time to the Emperor. In this consideration he moved war against Stephen, the successor of Zechariah.
