He wished to recover and reconstitute in its entirety the Frankish dominion; and he at once proceeded to reunite to it Provence and the portions of the old kingdom of Burgundy situated between the Alps and the Rhone, starting from Lyons. His first campaign with this object, in 733, was successful; he retook Lyons, Vienne, and Valence, without any stoppage up to the Durance, and charged chosen "leudes" ...

These reverberate round the dome and ascend until they reach the smaller dome, where they reunite and escape from the temple as one tone.

From this came the first sin and the sorrows of the human race, because God, noticing the devil's work, determined to see what would come ...
