[Footnote 128: Falcand. p. 303. Richard de St. Germano
begins his history from the death and praises of William II.
After some unmeaning epithets, he thus continues: Legis et
justitiae cultus tempore suo vigebat in regno; sua erat
quilibet sorte contentus; (were they mortals?) abique pax,
ubique securitas, nec latronum metuebat viator insidias, nec
maris nauta offendicula piratarum, (Script. Rerum Ital. tom.
vii p 939.)]
