Anyone who will take the trouble to examine the lives of the early popes in Muratori may read the detailed accounts of what each one did for the churches.
Muratori, Storia d' Italia, vol. 7. p. 135. Leipsic, 1748. Muratori, Dissertazione sopra le Antichita Italiane, dissert. 4. Otto Frisingensis, lib. 1. cap. 23. Otto Frisingensis, ibid. Ibid. Otto Frisingensis, ibid. While Frederic was yet fighting his way home through Italy, Adrian had to face about and confront another foe in William, the Norman king of Sicily.
From Orvieto, he proceeded to Viterbo for the winter, and then repaired to Rome. Hugoni Fracundi. Muratori, Scrip. Rer. Italic. vol. 7. page 268. Soon after his accession, Adrian received, among other letters of congratulation, one from Henry II. king of England, who had succeeded to his crown at the same time as the pope. This letter was as follows:
"There is no question about the opinion his comrades had of him," said Riccardo. "From Muratori and Zambeccari down to the roughest mountaineers they were all devoted to him. Moreover, he is a personal friend of Orsini.
There was nothing rosse, non-moral about the Renaissance Italian. The women were strongly tempered. I love to believe the story told by Machiavelli and Muratori of Catherine Sforza in the citadel of Forli. "Surrender or we slay your children which we hold as hostages," cried the besiegers. "Kill them if you like. I can breed more to avenge them." It is the speech of a giant nature.
