Howbeit the government of the empire Charles posterity was not very stable and permanent. For from the first year of Charles, wherein he was created Emperor, unto ⟨p. 411⟩the seventh year of Conrad, which was Nephew to Lewis the .3. by his Brother, the last of the house of Charles are accounted about an hundred and .19. years. For Charlemagne reigned Emperor .14. years, Lewis .26. Lotharius .15. Lewis the second .21. Charles two years, Caluus surnamed the second Charles. .3. Crassus. .12. Arnulphe .12. Lewis the .3.10. Conrad .7. Conrad lying on his death bed nominateth King, Henry Duke of Sharon surnamed Falconer. And thus was the Empire translated to the Germans. This Henry called the first, came never in Italy, never was consecrate or crowned of the Pope. His Son Ottho, the first of that name, sent for in Italy, is red to have gone thither with a great Army, being received at Rome, and saluted of the people Emperor and August. Ottho Frisinge in the .6. book of Histories the .17. chapt. affirmeth out of the decrees, that Pope Leo the .8. of that name did consecrate this Ottho the first King of Germans. For his father Henry refused it, Albert Krantz in the .10. and .11. chapt. of the fourth book of Saxon matters, affirmeth that Pope Leo made a surrender of all such things as the Popes had received of the kings of France, and the author defendeth this surrender made to be true. Howbeit the keeper of the Library testifieth, that Ottho confirmed the donatian of the kings of France, Pippin, Charles, and his sons. There remaineth moreover in the decrees a copy of the oath, the .43. distinct. whereby king Ottho bindeth him self to the Pope, that he shall intermeddle with nothing that concerneth the Pope and the Romans: secondly that he shall restore all the lands of S. Peter that shall come into his hands. Which thing let the reader judge what they are.
