1Historiographers account sixteen Exarches in order, which reigned about an hundred & four score years. The 15. of them was called Paulus. Nauclere in the .25. generat. Leo the .3. sayeth he, Emperor of Constantinople commanded, that they that were subject to the Roman Empire, should pluck down all their Images, break them, and burn them. Contrariwise the Pope, (some will have him Gregory the .2. some the .3.) wrote to the whole world, that they should not obey these so wicked commandments of the Emperor. Platina sayeth more in the life of Gregory the .3. Gregory by consent of the clergy of Rome depriveth Leo the .3. Emperor of Constantinople both of the Empire, and also of the communion of the faithful, for that he had plucked down Images. Nauclerus sayeth moreover: But so great authority at that time had the Popes decrees, that first they of Ravenna, and after the people and soldiers of Venice, made an open rebellion against the Emperor and the exarch in Italy. And the treason increased daily. For Marinus Spatarius, Duke of Rome, and his son Adrian, passing through Chan pania, were slain of the Romans. In whose stead they created Duke of Rome one Peter. They of Ravenna also, whilst some held with the Emperor, and some with the Pope, in a tumult made, slew Paul the exarch and his son. Thus writeth Nauclere.
