The papal legates had ratified the choice by placing the crown on his head ; and the fol- lowers of Rudolf, therefore, naturally expected the pontiff's counsel and aid in the struggle they had commenced, and the more so because Rudolf was in favour of those very measures which Gregory so zealously urged for the reformation and aggrandizement of the clergy. But though Gregory, doubtless, wished well to the cause ...of the revolted nobles, he also saw that its success was doubtful, so that if veracity and faithfulness commanded, ambition far more loudly forbade him to link his own fortunes 63 LIVES OF THE POPES.
