When Charles the great, king of •raunce by inheritance, of Italy by conquest, had after great benefits bestowed on the Papacy restored Pope Leo cast out by the Romans, and come himself in person to Rome to see him settled: athe Pope in recompense and token of a thankful mind thought good to honour him with the title ⟨p. 376⟩of Emperor. Which he did with jolly ceremonies and solemnity, laying an imperial robe upon his body, a crown of gold upon his head, anointing him (as bSadok did Solomon) with oil, the people crying out thrice with joyful shouts, God save Charles the great, the godly Emperor of the Romans. This honour, the posterity of Charles which succeeded him, csome times the Pope desired them, dsometimes themselves desired and used to receive with the like solemnity and holy pomp at Rome, as their father had. In process of time the race of Charles lost the kingdom of Italy: and Otho the German got it (as Charles did) by conquest. eOtho was crowned Emperor with the like solemnity. fAnd, from that time forward, he that was king of Germany held also the kingdom of Italy with the western Empire, and therefore did receive three crowns: one of Germany at Aken, by the Bishop of Mens; an other of Italy at Milan, by the Bishop of Milan; the third of the Empire at Rome by the Pope. Neither did he use the title of Emperor before the Pope had crowned him: but was called the king of Germany and Italy, or, the king of Romans, and *Emperor appointed. But the Pope, as a wise and politic Prince, turned this point of ceremony into a point of substance, when he saw his time: and because he gave the title of Emperor, and set a crown on Emperors heads; he sought to persuade men that he gave the Empire and right of the crown. The time fit to do it was when the troubles of the two Henrys, and the Councels sentence against Bishop Vecilo, had bred an opinion that the Pope had right to depose Emperors. For thereof men would gather that he had right to make them also. Wherefore
