Tbeexpe- But a quiet life was not for John XII. For some dition into South cause, unknown to us — no doubt to recover the property Italy, c. ,0 960. or territory at one time belonging to the Holy See — he took up arms, and led an expedition against the princes of Beneventum and Capua. Not perhaps unnaturally, as a southerner, the author of the Chronicle of Salernum,^ from whom alone we have these facts, and who, moreover, was not very discerning^ puts the blame of the war on the Pope, " a youth
..., and given up to the vices thereof." John marched south at the head of a body of Tuscans and Spoletans, as well as Romans. To strengthen their position the attacked princes contrived to secure the support of Gisulf, prince of Salernum, who is highly praised for his valour and military skill by our anonymous chronicler. The mere rumour of the approach of this renowned warrior was enough to put the papal army to flight, and to make it return to its own territories. Struck by the power of Gisulf, the Pope decided to make an alliance with him.
