๏ Pavia is sited on the Ticino river banks at 35 km from Milan. During the Roman Empire it was called Ticinum, for the name of its river, and in the 6th century it became the capital of the Longobards kingdom. After a long siege Charlemagne conquered the city, which remained capital during the following Carolingian and Saxon Empires. Several kings were crowned in San Michele church. ๏ In 825, Emperor Lotarius founded at Pavia a School of Rhetoric and Law that would play an important role during the high Middle Ages. The juridical tradition continued in the successive centuries, with the philosopher and theologian Lanfranco from Pavia, who became prior of the monastery of Le Bec in Normandy in 1045 and Archbishop of Canterbury in 1070, request of William the Conqueror.
