1I told before, and showed out of stories, how the old Roman Empire was torn and rent in pieces, & taken quite away. In times paste the one Emperor governed in the East at Constantinople, the other in the West at Rome or at Ravenna. But from Augustulus by the space of three hundred years and more, there was no Emperor of the West. And such lands as were the Emperors, were now possessed of others, and the Empire was utterly lost. Therefore about the year of our lord eight hundred, what time Charles the great, King of France came to Rome, upon Christmas day, Leo the .3. of that name, Bishop of Rome, setting the Crown upon Charles head made him Emperor, all the people saying with a loud voice, to Charles the Emperor crowned of God, be long life and victory. These things are red in all stories, especially in the .4. book of Aventinus his Chronicles of Bourbonois.
