Note 057
The Greeks, ashamed of any foreign aid,
disguise the alliance and succor of the Genoese: but the
fact is proved by the testimony of J Villani (Chron. l. vi.
c. 71, in Muratori, Script. Rerum Italicarum, tom. xiii. p.
202, 203) and William de Nangis, (Annales de St. Louis, p.
248 in the Louvre Joinville,) two impartial foreigners; and
Urban IV threatened to deprive Genoa of her archbishop.]
