Excerpt from History of the City of Rome in the Middle Ages, Vol. 3

Meanwhile, Rome was only the ideal head of the Empire, circumstances fortunately for mankind never allowing the city to become again its political centre. Had it again attained this position, Empire and Papacy together would have formed an illimitable power, and Europe would have been swallowed in a hierarchical despotism more formidable than the ancient despotism of the Casars. Charles renounced the idea of making Rome the capital of his monarchy.
