To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
he had been surprised by Leo III. Into receiv- ing the imperial crown from his hands, was careful, by placing the crown on the head of his son Lewis, to assert the principle that it was held immediately under God. S But the great Emperor's purpose in this act was frus- trated by the weakness of his son, and by the political necessities of others among his de- scendants.
Lewis " the Pious, " (as he is called) was a prince of exceedingly feeble character, and altogether unfit to bear the weight o...f the sovereignty which his great father had de- volved on him. In 816, Pope Stephen IV. , the successor of Leo, went into France in order to apologize for having assumed the Papacy without the Emperor's consent. For it was supposed that, with the restoration of the imperial power as a reality, the necessity of observing the ancient form in this respect was revived. But Lewis did not wait for the Pope's submission. He went out to meet him a mile beyond the walls of Reims ; each dis- mounted from his horse, and the Emperor thrice prostrated himself at Stephen's feet before venturing to embrace him.
