Episode 7 - The Wages of Sin

The Romans murder Waldipert, the personal representative of the Lombard King Desiderius, and Desiderius blames Chrisopher the Primicerius. Pepin, king of the Franks, dies and his kingdom passes to two sons, Carloman and Charles (Charlemagne) who immediately begin feuding. Their mother Bertrada arranges for a marriage between Charles and a Lombard princess, sending the papacy into a panic. Desiderius exacts his revenge on Christopher--cosmic justice for the likely architect of the papal policies described in this podcast series.
