[Footnote 57: See Eginhard, in Vita Caroli Magni, c. i. p.
9, &c., c. iii. p. 24. Childeric was deposed - jussu, the
Carlovingians were established - auctoritate, Pontificis
Romani. Launoy, &c., pretend that these strong words are
susceptible of a very soft interpretation. Be it so; yet
Eginhard understood the world, the court, and the Latin
language.]
