It will be a week after they land at the very earliest before they leave Cosenza." For a fortnight Beric remained quietly passing the greater portion of his time at the farmhouse with Aemilia. "It is terrible to me that you are going to fight the Romans, Beric," she said.
The literary record of Cosenza is one of exceptional brilliance; for acute and original thought this town can hardly be surpassed by any other of its size on earth. Were statistics available, I have not the slightest doubt that fever could be shown to be largely responsible for the withering of its spiritual life.
The question of food will be of no trouble to us, but on the other hand, it will be a vast trouble to the Romans. Every foot that they advance from their magazines at Cosenza their difficulties will increase. They must make roads as they go, and their convoys will always be exposed to our attacks.

Giovanni had already been invested with the title of Nepi, and Francesco Borgia, Cardinal of Cosenza, as the child's guardian, administered these estates. There are coins of this ephemeral Duke of Camerino still in existence.
The Archbishop of Cosenza, a man of wealth and of intelligence, offered me a room in his palace.
Alexander understood the complaint, and resolved that all should be set right. So he denied all knowledge of the papal brief though he had as a fact received 60,000 ducats for signing it and accused the Archbishop of Cosenza, secretary for apostolic briefs, of having granted a false dispensation.
The next few days were spent in making a careful examination of the mountains above Cosenza, and fixing upon the points where an active resistance could be best made.
