The Emperor nothing moved therewith, that he was not let into the City, patient and with an humble mind abideth without the walls,1 with no little grievance and painful labour: for it was a sharp winter, and all frozen with cold. Notwithstanding, yet through his importunate suit, at length it was granted through the entreating of Matilda the Popes paramour, and of Arelaus Earl of Sebaudia, and the Abbot of Cluniake, that he should be admitted to the Popes speech. On the 4. day being let in, for a token of his true repentance, he yieldeth to the Popes hands, his crown, with all other ornaments Imperial: and confessed himself unworthy of the Empire, if ever he do against the Pope hereafter, as he hath done tofore, desiring for that time to be absolved and forgiven.
