Herein may all men see,1 unless it be those which will see nothing, how this contemptuous Bishop, and very small horn, hath at one push overthrown two horns. For he hath put the emperor of Constantinople from the government of Italy: and hath put down the King of Lombardy & caused his people to be driven out of Italy. For a few years after, the Pope, by the force of Charlemagne, put down Desiderius the last king of Lombardy, and destroyed withal the whole people of the Lombards. And thus start up the Pope, & became as it were king of old Rome, & of the chief part of Italy. And now are the beginnings of the kingdom laid, but as yet he reigned not with full authority, as is declared before. Eberardus therefore Bishop of Salisburge, whose words I recited in the preface of this book, extendeth these things further. But I suppose this our exposition to accord with the prophet, with the things & times. And the pope gave to king Pippin for so great a donation, a title, as Platina showeth in the life of Stephen the .2. that all kings of France should be called most Christen. Afterward was the Image of the Empire bestowed upon Charles: whereof is spoken before.
