While Castruccio is traveling throughout Italy with the newly crowned King Louis of Bavaria, the two men visit Rome. "They went to Rome together, where the emperor knight him, and he bore the sword of state in the procession from the Campidoglio to St. Peter's, where Louis recieved the imperial crown. He was created count of the palace, senator of Rome, and master of the court. He had arrived at the summit of his glory." (439-440)
