Quote from Letter 6,6 to Childebert, king of the Franks. September 595
Thus your faith and your fairness likewise may shine forth for all natons, to be desired as something glorious and praiseworthy,
Besides this, we have sent your Excellency the keys of Saint Peter, in which filings from the links of his chains are enclosed. When hung from your neck, this would protect you from all evils.
