neighbouring places which had been anciently their Subjects And because the Tuscans refus'd to submit they march'd confusedly against them but they being re-inforced by Frederick gave the Roman Army such a blow that since that time Rome could never recover its old Condition either for Populousness or Wealth Upon these Events Pope Alexander was return'd to Rome presuming he might be safe there by reason of the Animosity the Romans retain'd against the Emperour and the Employment his Enemies gave him in Lombardy But Frederick postponing all other respects march'd with his Army to besiege Rome Alexander thought it not convenient to attend him but withdrew into Puglia to William who upon the death of Roger being next Heir was made King Frederick being much molested and weaken'd by a Contagion in his Army rais'd his Siege and went back into Germany The Lombards which were in League against him to restrain their Excursions and streighten the Towns of Pavia and Tortona caus'd a City to be built which they intended for the Seat of the War and call'd it Alexandria in honour to Pope Alexander and defiance to the Emperour Guido the new Anti-Pope died likewise and Iohn of Fermo was chosen in his room who by the favour of the Imperial party was permitted to keep his Residence in Monte Fiascone whilst Alexander was gone into Tuscany invited by that people that by his Authority they might be the better defended against the Romans Being there Embassadors came to him from Henry King of England to clear their Masters innocence in the death of Thomas Becket Arch-Bishop of Canterbury with which he was publickly and most infamously aspersed To inquire into the truth the Pope sent two Cardinals into England who notwithstanding they found not his Majesty in any manifest guilt yet for the scandal of the Fact and that he had not honour'd the said Arch-Bishop with the respect he deserved they prescribed as a Penance That he should call all the Barons of his Kingdom together swear his Innocence before them send 200 Soldiers to Ierusalem to be paid by him for a twelve-month and himself follow in person with as great a Power as he could raise before three years were expir'd that he should disanul all things pass'd in his Kingdom in prejudice to the Ecclesiastick liberty and consent that any of his Subjects whatever should appeal to Rome when and as often as they thought it convenient all which Conditions were readily accepted and that great Prince submitted to a Sentence there is scarce a private person but would scorn at this day But though his Holiness was so formidable to the Princes abroad he was not so terrible in Rome the people in that City would not be ●oaksed nor persuaded to let him live there though he protested he would meddle no farther than Ecclesiastical matters by which it appears things at a distance are more dreadful than near at hand In the mean time Frederick was return'd into Italy with resolution to make a new War upon the Pope but whilst he was busie about his preparations his Barons and Clergy gave him advertisement that they would all forsake him unless he reconcil'd himself to the Church so that changing his design he was forc'd to go and make his submission at Venice and pacification being made the Pope in the Agreement devested the Emperor of all the Authority he pretended over Rome and named William King of Sicily and Puglia his Confederate Frederick being an active Prince and unable to lie still embarqu'd himself in the Enterprize into Asia to spend his Ambition against the Turk which he could not do so effectually against the Pope But being got as far as the River Cidvo allur'd by the clearness and excellence of the Waters he would needs wash himself in it and that washing gave him his death Those Waters being more beneficial to the Turks than all Excommunications to the Christians for whereas these only cool'd and asswag'd his Ambition they wash'd it away and extinguish'd it quite Frederick being dead nothing remain'd now to be suppres'd but the contumacy of the Romans After much argument and dispute about their Creation of Consuls it was concluded the Romans according to ancient Custom should have liberty to choose them but they should not execute their Office till they had sworn fealty to the Church Upon this accord Iohn the Anti-Pope fled to Monte Albano and died presently after In the mean time William King of Naples died also and having left no Sons but Tanacred a Bastard the Pope design'd to have possess'd himself of his Kingdom but by the opposition of the Barons Tanacred was made King Afterwards Celestin III. coming to the Papacy and being desirous to wrest that Kingdom from Tanacred he contriv'd to make Enrico Fredericks Son King promising him the Kingdom of Naples upon Condition he would restore such Lands as belong'd to the Church and to facilitate the business he took Costanza an ancient Maid daughter to King William out of a Monastery and gave her him for his Wife by which means the Kingdom of Naples pass'd from the Normans who had founded it and fell under the dominion of the Germans Henricus the Emperor having first setled his affairs in Germany came into Italy with his Wife Costanza and one of his Sons call'd Frederick about four years of age and without much difficulty possess'd himself of that Kingdom Tanacred being dead and only one Child remaining of his Issue call'd Roger Not long after Enricus died in Sicily he was succeeded in that Kingdom by Frederick and Otto Duke of Saxony chosen Emperour by the assistance of Pope Innocent III. But no sooner had he got the Crown upon his Head but contrary to the opinion of all men he became Enemy to the Pope seiz'd upon Romania and gave out Orders for the assaulting that Kingdom Upon which being Excommunicated by the Pope and deserted by his Friends Frederick King of Naples was chosen Emperour in his place The said Frederick coming to Rome to be Crown'd the Pope scrupl'd it being jealous of his power and endeavoured to persuade him out of Italy as he had done Otto before which Frederick disdaining retir'd into Germany and making War upon Otto overcame him at last In the mean time Innocent died who besides other magnificent Works built the Hospital di Santo Spirito at Rome Honorius III. succeeded him in whose Papacy were instituted the Orders of S. Dominick and S. Francis in the year MCCXVIII Honorius Crown'd Frederick to whom Iohn descended from Baldwin King of Ierusalem who commanded the remainder of the Christians in Asia and retain'd that Title gave one of his Daughters in marriage and the Title of that Kingdom in Dower with her and from that time whoever is King of Naples has that Title annex'd In Italy at that time they liv'd in this manner The Romans had no more the Creation of Consuls but in lieu of it they invested sometimes one

which possesses your Daughter if what we shall administer might be sufficient your Majesty should be happy in your desires and mine also but if things prove otherwise and your Majesty be not satisfied with my endeavours I shall submit and your Majesty may deal with me as I deserve in the mean time I desire your Majesty would give order a Theatre be erected in the Church-yard of Nostre Dame big enough to receive all the Nobility and Clergy in the Town Let this Theatre if your Majesty think good be hung with Cloath of Gold and other rich Stuffs and an Altar set up in the middle on Sunday next I would desire your Majesty to be there with all the Princes and Nobility in Paris and after a grand Mass is sung let the Princess be brought also Besides this it is necessary there should be twenty persons at least with Trumpets Horns Drums Hoboys and Symbals ready in some by-place when I throw up my Cap into the air to advance towards the Theatre with all the noise they can make which Musick with some other ingredients that I have will I hope send the Devil packing from the Princess the King gave order all things should be done as Matteo requested and Sunday being come and the Theatre throng'd with a multitude of persons of quality and the Church-yard of Nostre Dame full of people the Princess was led in by two Bishops and followed by several Lords of the Court Roderick was in a terrible amaze to behold so magnificent a preparation and pondering with himself was over-heard to pronounce these words I would fain know what this rascally Peasant means to do I have seen many places I have more than once seen the whole pomp of Heaven nor am I ignorant of what is most formidable in Hell yet can I not tell what to make of this but I 'le handle him like a Rogue as he is and if I fall Pluto requite me Matteo came up close to him and desired him very civilly to depart but Roderick cryed out Oh the wonderous cunning that is in you do you think by this whimsey to save yourself from my power and the indignation of the King but think what you will you scoundrel I am resolved you shall hang for 't or else let me pass for the most miserable poor-spirited Devil in the World Matteo persisted in his request but Belphegor gave him worse Language than before but all that frighted not Matteo for without losing more time he threw his hat up into the air and at an instant the Trumpets Horns and all the rest of the Musick struck up and advanced towards the Theatre Roderick was startled at the noise and made it manifest that there are some Devils as fearful as men and not able to imagine the reason he called out to Matteo and asked what was the matter Matteo being a cunning Rogue every inch of him as if he had been terribly frighted informs him thus Alas poor Roderick says he 't is your Wife Honesta is come to seek you at Paris he said no more but it is not to be imagined what disorder these four or five words put the Devil into they took away his wit and judgment so as without any consideration whether the news was possible or not without speaking one word away he stole from the Princess choosing rather to go back into Hell and give up his accounts there than to return again into the thraldom of Matrimony that had already cost him so many sorrows and dangers As soon as he arrived he demanded audience and in the presence of Pluto Aeacus Minos and Radamanthus all of them Counsellors of State he declared that the Souls of Men were in the right on 't and that 't was their Wives that sent them to Hell Matteo that had been too crafty for the Devil returns to Florence in great triumph the Chronicle mentions not any great matter the King gave him but it says that having gained sufficiently by the two former he esteemed himself very happy that he
