Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from History and Geography of the Middle Ages, Vol. 1: For Colleges and Schools, (Chiefly From the French); History
This, however, was far from being the case. Instead of being friends, the two emperors were rivals: instead of sus taining each other, each strove to obtain the control over his colleague; laboring mutually to undermine and raise up enemies against the power on whose existence each depend ed for the preservation of his own. In this deplorable task they were both equally successful; and the result of their divisions was the general invasion, hastened by the policy of the Eastern Empire, and which was soon followed by the dis memberment and rapid fall of the Empire of the West.
