You come from Rome? I, Sire Well, step forward then, messenger, and complete your purpose From his holiness Wait, come closer You are a priest Yes, Sire My name is Peter Forgive me, Father, I did not recognize you His holiness begs you to read his message and act at once Desiderius It is true, Your Majesty His army is moving down upon us from the north The Lombard troops have blocked all passage to you And I was forced to make my way here by boat Can the Lombards be such fools to attack the church? Galen Yes, Sire Send a messenger to Desiderius Tell him I would meet with him at once Your Majesty What is it? My name is Cynus, Sire I come to your quarters and pass it off from the king of Lombardy Desiderius Come forward, Cynus Tell us what manner of greeting you bring from your king A peace to all men, Sire Is your army a day's march from the walls of Rome, as this messenger tells me? It is, Sire For what purpose? To establish justice To seek the return of lands belonging to the Lombards But taken recently by men of the church The lands have always belonged to the church, Sire Desiderius has no right to them Tell your king, Cynus, to withdraw his army And I will send to Rome a commission Three men, a bishop and Abbey and a courtier They will decide with honesty what is just And both sides will obey by their decision What honesty may we expect from a bishop and Abbey and a courtier? You dare this blasphemy? A moment, Father Cynus, what caused your king to send you to my court with this greeting of peace? Desiderius knew you would soon receive a messenger from the pope It was his desire that you should hear the true circumstances For Desiderius also knows that you and your army Have just completed a vast and victorious campaign in Saxony That your army is weary, as are you That it would ill suit the Franks to wage war at this time And so he entreats you thus The Lombards quarrel is with Pope Adrian, not with Charles Leave it so I'll say you, Father Peter The cause of justice is any man's cause A war against God is every man's war This is the essence of his holiness message to you Galen, the army has been sent to their homes and their farms Provisions expended in the Saxony campaigns have not been replaced To raise an army now, we need to order every count and every peasant Those men-only horses will form the cavalry And those with armor will bring the mail for their protection Each village will provide a wagon train containing food for three months, arms and clothing for half a year Every landholder is expected to appear under the banner of his count And the king's vassals will bring all their free retainers The poor shall walk on foot with what weapons they may fashion for themselves Reply to your king thus seen as The king of all the Franks has received his message And this is his reply That beginning this day will the armed host of Charles march to Rome Our purpose? Call to Crippus Horsemen for the first attack We will assemble our consulate ones Yes, sir And these men you are about Not answer for the Lombards But I have always followed one rule with By either enlighten them or exterminate them See, John, let me hear no more Father Peter, you should have remained in camp My place is here with those who need me And children, those that are still living And desiderous Hiding with his men, soon they will be starved into submission There will be other threats, Sire As long as there are godless men There will be godless deeds Are you suggesting, Father, that I can cure the world's ills? No man can cure the world's ills I am suggesting something far simpler, Your Majesty I am suggesting that you come with me to Rome To Rome? To Rome, to the holy city To the court of His Holiness Pope Adrian Father and my father's father Both spoke of a journey to the city of Saints Yet neither lived to travel so far from His native land From Pavia, the journey is not long, Sire Very well, Father We will see Rome Thanks fear, lest He kept you waiting King Charles The Lombards still have Pavia, Your Holiness My army now surrounds them Also before you are no longer a king I am not displeased at the prospect Am I, King Charles?
