Adam explains that he turned aside from "Bologna, Florence, and Perugia on account of the raging wars of the Duke of Milan."12 By staying within the Duke's territory as far south as Pisa and Pietrasanta, Adam was able to avoid Tuscany, where the Duke's armies were most active.

Not only do Arthur and his army follow the "German way" into Italy, they take exactly the same detour as Adam took to avoid Tuscany. Arthur describes this itinerary when he announces his plans to conquer Rome:

I shall at Lamass take leve to lenge at my large (349)

In Lorraine or Lumbardy, whether me leve thinkes;

Merk unto Meloine [Milan] and mine down the walles

Both of Petersand and of Pis and of the Pount Tremble;

In the Vale of Viterbo vitail my knights.
