Desiderius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In 770 Charlemagne had married a daughter of Desiderius, but he soon divorced her and sent her back to her father. Moreover, Gerberge, the widow of Charlemagne's brother Carloman, had sought the protection of the Lombard king after her husband's death in 771; and (probably in return for the slight cast upon his daughter) Desiderius had recognized Gerberga's sons as lawful Frankish kings, and had attacked Adrian for refusing to crown them. Desiderius was exiled to Corbie, France, where he died, and his son, Adalgis, spent his life in futile attempts to recover his father’s kingdom. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Desiderius   (352 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Blessed Victor III Desiderius was the greatest of all the abbots of Monte Cassino with the exception of the founder, and as such won for himself "imperishable fame" (Gregorovius). Undoubtedly the chief importance of Desiderius in papal history lies in his influence with the Normans, an influence which he was able repeatedly to exert in favour of the Holy See. Desiderius was by no means willing to assume the mantle of Gregory VII, experience had taught him that his power and utility lay in being a middleman, yet at a time when the Church was surrounded by powerful enemies his influence with the Normans made him the most obvious candidate. www.newadvent.org /cathen/15410a.htm   (1681 words)
