Peter, in 1220, Frederic inflicted infamy, exile and confiscation, upon all heretics, men and women alike, whether Cathari, Patarins, or Arnoldists, and upon all those who claimed the right to think freely about God and the way of salvation, upon the mere suspicion, sola suspicione notabiles, of revolt against THE EMPEROR FREDERIC II 137 11 the eternal majesty. " (43) One only will, one only autonomy, one only reason, therefore, existed, the emperor, who entitled himself " the living law upon e...arth. " Although a story in the Novellino credits Frederic with the words of a king devoted to ideal justice and stronger than the seductions of pride, history compels us to suppose that in his eyes the law was merely his own good pleasure. (44) And as he had absorbed in himself all the political rights of his subjects, he attracted to himself all the sources of wealth existing in his kingdom. He filled his treasury by means of the land tax and the duty upon food- stuffs, the monopoly of salt and metals ; he was the privileged shipowner in the ports of the Mediterranean ; he retarded the departure of ships that did not carry his merchandize.
