designs to make open War but though the countenance of Caroloman might do much yet the Wisdom and Courage of Charles prevailed more for understanding his brothers secret practices he armed so suddenly that he seized several Great Towns and thereby all the Countrey adjoining submitted to him Hunalt finding himself prevented fled to a Nobleman in that Countrey called Loup his faithful and affectionate Friend to whom Charles instantly sends to deliver Hunalt into his hands as guilty of High Treason Who unable to resist sends him back with all his Family to whom Charles graciously grants both life and liberty and pardons Loup and all that obeyed him thereby ending a dangerous War without blows Caroloman finding his designs against his brother unsuccessful takes a Voyage to Rome under shew of Devotion though intending other matters His Mother Berthe accompanying him was honourably received by Didier King of the Lombards who then concluded a Marriage between her Son Charles and Theodora daughter to Didier one of the greatest enemies of his Sons good fortuno yet Charlemagne to please his Mother Married this Wife though he soon after put her away as disagreeable to his humour and affairs and likewise on suspition of incontinency so that what should have been a cause of love bred greater hate between these two Princes Carolom●● having effected nothing at Rome only discovering his malicious Jealousy returns into France and soon after dies in the year of our Lord 770. Charles being now alone by his brothers decease quietly takes possession of his Dominions and then marries Hildegard daughter of the Duke of Sueve his own Subject by whom he had three Sons and three daughters Carolomans Jealousy died not with him for his Wife Birthe impatient of her condition retires with her two Sons to Didier who contrived with the Widdow to procure from Adrian then Pope a confirmation of her Sons in the Crown of France which the Pope absolutely refused At which time Hunalt forgetful of the mercy of Charles comes to Didier by whom he is received and made General of the Army against the Pope for denying the King of Lombardy's request who having no other weapons but Excommunication implores the aid of Charles who first sends Ambassadors to Didier requiring him to restore what he had taken from the Pope and to suffer him to live in peace Who insisting upon having the Children of Caroloman declared Kings of France His demands were thought so unreasonable that the Treaty is broke off and Charles instantly prepares for War and in a short time gives the Lombards two notable defeats And at length besieges him and all his Forces in Pavia which was soon surrendred and Didier falls into his hands who was sent Prisoner to Lyons and the Kingdom of the Lombards thereby utterly ruined During the Siege of Pavia a Council was held at Rome by Pope Adrian in favour of Charlemagne and for his merits toward the Church the right to bestow all Benefices in Christendom was said to belong to him Charlemagne being returned into France Aldegise the Son of Didier endeavoured to disquiet Italy by the aid of the Emperor Constantine and the practices of Rogand to ●om Charlemagne had given Friuli but all these Rebellions were soon supprest by the diligence of the French Gover●ors and Rogand being taken was beheaded by ●he Kings Command But the end of this War was the ●eginning of another in Germany whereof the Saxons were the Chief Authors with the assistance of some of their Neighbours this War continued thirty three years at divers times The Saxons in Germany were at this time Subject to the Crown of France under Martel and Pepin his Son and the desire of recovering their ancient liberty but especially of retaining their Pagan Superstition received from their Ancestors was the chief occasion of these tedious Troubles For Charles zealous for the Christian Faith endeavoured to oblige them to make profession thereof Upon this Controversy of Religion the Saxons made War eight times against him especially when they found him busied elsewhere and took Strasburg and several other Towns then in possession of the French whereupon Charles calling a Parliament at Worms leavied a great Army wherewith having vanquished the Saxons twice in one Month in the open Field he reduced them to their ancient Obedience yet used his Victoty with much Modesty and Wildom designing rather to show his Power than his Justice The Chief Commander among them was one Widichind who being by Charles perswaded without any violence to imbrace the Christian Religion by his means the greatest part of the Saxons were brought to the knowledge of the true God and into Obedience to the French Monarchy After this the Zeal for Religion gave some colour of necessity to the Heroical desire of Charlemagne to inlarge his Dominions by making War upon the Saracens or Moors in Spain who had then conquered a great part thereof which they divided into distinct Kingdoms yet all these petty Kings resolved to unite against Charles their common Enemy and to prevent all his designs they caused one of their Kings called Idbunala to insinuate into his Friendship and Charlemagne pushed on both by him and Alphonso sirnamed the Chast King of Navar and well affected thereto himself he brings his Forces into Spain and took the Cities of Pampelona and Saragosa plundering them and putting all the Saracens to the Sword. Encouraged by this success he marches on relying on his usual Fortune many small Towns in the way terrified by their example yielding upon composition and then giving part of his Army to be commanded by Milon his Brother in Law it happened that near Bayonne Aigoland a Saracen King took him at such advantage that he defeated him with the loss of forty thousand men Milon himself being slain Aigoland elevated with this Victory and Charles being far off he marches into Gascoign and besieges Agen to draw him home for the defence of his own Countrey who doubting the Fidelity of the Gascoins makes a speedy return but so tired that his Troops were altogether unserviceable which Aigeland being sensible of sends him a Proposal That to prevent bloud●hed and the unnecessary destruction of Mankind and since he understood that Charles would make Peace with them if they would imbrace the Christian Religion he desired the Tryal of the true Faith might be made only by some few Troops protesting to yield to that Religi●n which should overcome in the Combat The condition was accepted by Charles and the Christian Troop vanquished the Saracens Aigoland hereupon declares himself openly a Christian but intended nothing less and takes this occasion to break the Treaty He finds Charles at his Table eating with the Chief of his Followers for Kings used not then to eat alone and sees twelve poor men in very ragged Cloths near the Noblemens Table and demanding who those miserable Creatures were that fed by themselves was told They were the Messengers of God who replied Sure your
