In the eighth book of the _Chronijk van den Ondergang der Tyrannen, for the year 767, page 262, col. 2_, several examples of this kind are successively related, which we shall present here as is most suitable, and in the best possible order.[65] [65] Notwithstanding, the examples related in the body of the work are recorded by P. J. Twisk, it is proper to state, that they were extracted from various papistic writers. The author of said chronicle, after mentioning the ignominious expulsion of pope Sylvester Campanus from the city of Rome, relates the sad ending of Constantine, Hadrian, John, Benedict, Boniface, Lucius, Innocentius, Nicholas, Paul, Leo, Clement, etc. Pope Constantine II., having led an ungodly life, was deprived, in a council, of both his eyes, and the papal power, and then put into a convent. Hadrian III., fleeing from Rome, came to Venice in the habit of a gardener, where he was ordered to work in a garden. Hadrian IV. was choked to death by a fly, which flew into his mouth, or, as others say, into his drink, while he was drinking. John XI.,[66] being apprehended by the soldiers of a certain Guido, was smothered with a pillow, which they held upon his mouth. [66] John XI. was put for John XXII.; by the author from whom this was taken, but this is an error. John XXII. was crushed by the falling in of the vault of a pavilion, and thus departed this life. Benedict VI.,[67] was shut up in the Castle Angelo, by Cynthius, a citizen of Rome, and there strangled by him, on account of his great villainy. [67] This Benedict VI. was also put for his successor, Benedict IX.; which error we have corrected. Benedict IX. was killed by poison, which had been put into a fig by an abbess, who was considered a devout, spiritual daughter. The body of Boniface VII., who had died a sudden death, was dragged along the street, with his feet tied to a rope, and ignominiously buried in the common grave. Lucius II., about to storm the capitol, whither the senators had fled, was so seriously pelted with stones, that he died soon afterwards. When Innocentius IV. had unjustly sentenced to death Robert of Lincoln, because he had censured, with the mouth as well as with the pen, the nefarious deeds of the popes, and Robert therefore appealed to Christ, the Supreme Judge, the pope was found dead in his bed the following day.[68] [68] Our author relates, that before the death of pope Innocentius IV. a voice was heard in the papal court, saying, “Come, thou wretched man, to the judgment of God!” Nicholas III. died very unexpectedly of apoplexy (called the stroke of God). Paul II., having supped very merrily, died soon after, likewise of apoplexy. Leo X. died while laughing and frolicking at his cups.
