	Charlemagne - LoveToKnow 1911
		Adalgis, the son of Desiderius, who was residing at Constantinople, hoped the emperor Leo IV.
		His plans were ended by his death in 787, and although the empress Irene, the real ruler of the eastern empire, broke off the projected marriage between her son and Rothrude, she appears to have given very little assistance to Adalgis, whose attack on Italy was easily repulsed.
		During this visit Charles had presented certain towns to Adrian, but an estrangement soon arose between king and pope over the claim of Charles to confirm the election to the archbishopric of Ravenna, and it was accentuated by Adrian's objection to the establishment by Charles of Grimoald III..

	Charlemagne
		Adalgis, the son of Desiderius, who was residing at Constantinople, hoped the emperor Leo IV would assist him in recovering his father's kingdom; but a coalition formed for this purpose was ineffectual, and a rising led by his ally Rothgaud, duke of Friuli, was easily crushed by Charles in 776.
		The emperor Constantine VI was at this time exhibiting some interest in Italian affairs, and Adalgis the Lombard was still residing at his court; so Charles sought to avert danger from this quarter by consenting in 781 to a marriage between Constantine and his own daughter Rothrude.
		These journeys and campaigns, however, were but interludes in the long and stubborn struggle between Charles and the Saxons, which began in 772 and ended in 804 with the incorporation of Saxony in the Carolingian empire.

		He also drove his son Adalgis, the last hope of the Lombards, not only from his kingdom, but from all Italy.
		He likewise restored to the Romans all they had lost; crushed Henodgans, Duke of Friuli, who was scheming revolt; reduced all Italy to his sway, and set his son Pepin over it.
		The war ended with the subjection of Italy, the banishment of King Desidarius for life, the expulsion of his son Adalgis from Italy and the restoration to Hadrian, Primate of the Roman Church, of all the conquests by the Lombard kings.

	The years 782 to 784 from the Revised Annals of the Kingdom of the Franks
		He immediately summoned three of his officers to his presence, Adalgis, the chamberlain, Gailo, the count of the stables, and Worad, the count of the palace, and ordered then to act with all possible dispatch, taking eastern Franks and Saxons with them, to repress the temerity of the contumacious Slavs.
		It was their fear, however, when they discussed matters among themselves, that if they had Theoderic with them in the battle the renown of the victory would be transferred to his name, and they therefore resolved to engage the Saxons without him.
		The loss to the Franks was greater than numbers alone, however, for two of the legates, Adalgis and Cailo, four counts and as many as twenty other men of distinction and nobility were killed, as well as others who were in their followings and chose to die at their sides rather than survive them.

		Guiromélans rolls the heavy mug between his hands, letting its burning heat seep into his cold-stiffened fingers. The mug’s shape is trough-like, to accommodate both paqa and human imbibers.
		Guiromélans shakes his head. The Quartermaster left him behind, all too eager to assume he had drowned. It was Adalgis and Caidryn in the skiff that pulled him from the dark waters, weak, frozen, and nearly drowned.
		Nevertheless, Guiromélans is surprised when Caidryn emerges from that crowd, Balen clinging closely to her shirt. He and Adalgis straighten with concern when they see that her face is swelling with an ugly bruise, blood thickening in her nose and on her lip. The boy looks only slightly horrified.

	Quotes from The Life of Charlemagne
		Now, although Charles seems to have had similar, or rather just the same grounds for declaring war that his father had, the war itself differed from the preceding one alike in its difficulties and its issue.
		Suffice it to say that this war ended with the subjection of Italy, the banishment of King Desiderius for life, the expulsion of his son Adalgis from Italy, and the restoration of the conquests of the Lombard kings to Hadrian, the head of the Roman Church.
		At the conclusion of this struggle, the Saxon war, that seems to have been only laid aside for the time, was taken up again.

		Raven and witch stare at her, neither quite sure who she is talking to. Ignoring her outburst, the other Bracks close quickly on Baldruus.
		Adalgis steps aside to reveal one of Radla’s charts spread across the table. “Where’re we goin’?” he asks bluntly, “We needs tä know.”
		Adalgis laughs out loud, “Nage! We fear only that the sky might fall upon us!” As a quieter aside, he adds, “But they do grows them big in those icy lands.”
