| Quotation |
Et nunc blanda suasione, nunc bellorum inpetu ad id cogebat, tandemque tricesimo imperii sui anno obtinuit – imperator quippe ex rege creatus est –, quod multis temporibus elaborando non defecit: ob id qui olim socii et amici erant Francorum, iam fratres et quasi una gens ex Christiana fide, veluti modo videmus, facta est. |
| Translation |
He forced them to this, sometimes with seductive enticements, and sometimes with war. Finally, in the thirtieth year of his imperial rule— for he had been transformed from a king into an emperor— he finally obtained the end for which he had not ceased to struggle over these many years. (Trans. Bacharach, p. 26) |
