In Carlovingian times Charles the Bald, in the year 875, in the "Chronica Farfense," appears as saying, "in Curte nostra infra Castrum Viterbense": elsewhere "curtis regie Viturbensis" is spoken of : and later, in 899, Berenger gives to the bishop of Florence "terram ... pertinentem de curte Regis istae Florentiae" : and finally, not to multiply examples, I will mention a privilege of Karloman's, published by Ughelli , by which he gives to the bishop of Parma certain regalia: "id est curtem regiam extructam infra civitatem Parmam cum omne officio suo," etc.
