A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . oj^en their city gates, the Leoninecity and St. Peters were early on tlie 18th seized by the Germans, FREDERICK CROWNED EMPEROR. 147 and Frederick crowned (Fig. GO), under the j^rotection of theirarms, by the pojje.
