This short pontificate, however, enabled the cardinals to leave Rome and disperse over the Campagna, showing themselves more occupied with their own interests than with t...hose of the Church ; and for nearly two years the Roman see was vacant. Frede- rick, having made some fruitless overtures for peace, again overran the Church's territory in the Marche 204 The Popes axd the Hohenstaufen.
