Years: 758 - 758
In 758 also, Desiderius visits Rome and compels Paul to write to Pepin asking him to concede all the Lombard Direct claims except that to Imola; another letter of exactly opposite tenor is sent by the same messenger.
Pepin finds it advisable to maintain good relations with Desiderius, and Paul apparently accomplishes little by his double-dealing.
Later, however, Pepin will give the pope some support and act as arbiter between the Roman and Lombard claims.
