Rodulph being killed, the Rebels set up the Emperors Son, a Lad, against his own Father: But at that present he was quieted, and the Emperor went with an Army into Italy, and first Conquered the Army of Mathildis the Popes Patroness, and brought his own Pope Clement the 3d. to the Chair, and was crowned by him: He besieged Gregory in the Castle: Guiscard, a Norman cometh with an Army to fight for the Pope: The Citizens resist him, (the Emperor being drawn out to Sens.) Guiscard burnt and destroyed that part of the City which is between the Lateran and the Capitol, and took the Capitol and destroyed it. He gave the prey of the City to his Soldiers, and delivered Gregory and carried him away to C•ssinum and Salernum, where he dyed, having reigned 12 years. Bin. saith, that Henry besieged Rome three years before he took it. When Robert Guiscard had delivered the Pope, he deposed (quantum in se) all the new Cardinals made by Clement 3. and cursed the Emperor again. Gregory himself saith that Italian, French, and German Bishops were for the Emperor, and they were also for Clement 3. How shall we know then which was the true Pope?
