8 Therefore Frederick the .2. and Emperor most excellent, hoping to do some good, marcheth also with an enge and well furnished army into the East: which they say was done in the year of our Lord .1234. In the mean season whilst he doeth valiantly in the East, the Bishop of Rome Gregory the .9. of that name, taking an occasion (I use the words of Urspurgens.) of the absence of the Emperor sent a great army into Apulia, 1and toke away the lands of the Emperor. Which was absent in the service of Christ, (which is most wicked to be spoken) and kept them thus subdued to his own use, and by no means would suffer those which had taken the holy cross (that is to say, which should go a warfare to the Emperor) to take shipping or passage, but letted them to his power aswell in Apulia as in Lombardy. And more such stuff, which they may read that have leisure, in the same. Wherefore the emperor constrained, his matters there left unperfect, to fall to a con position with the enemy, returned, that he might recover such things as the Pope had taken from him.
