§ 90. CCCLXXI. But the Wars of Councils continuing, a Council was called by the Emperor at Mentz, where the deposition of Gregory, and the substitution of Clement (whose Legates were present) was confirmed, and the Condemners again condemned.
And so we have done with the Life, Letters and Councils of Hildebrand.
§ 91. Pope Gregory dying, Clement alone was Pope one year, and then the Italians chose Desiderius an Abbot, called Victor the 3d. This was the 23d Schism, or two Popes at once. Victor lived but a year and three months, and 24 days. Historians tell us of Famines, and dreadful Prodigies in those days. In that little time he raised an Army which beat the Saracens in Afric.
