Original sentence: On his election, Chiaramonte, who had taken the name Pope Pius VII, found himself without a crown; none had been brought by his predecessor Pope Pius VI when on 20 February 1798 the terminally ill pope was captured by the French, deposed from temporal power, and forcibly removed from Rome
Edited sentence: On his election, Chiaramonte, who had taken the name Pope Pius VII, found himself without a crown; none had been brought by his predecessor Pope Pius VI when on 20 February 1798 the terminally ill pope had literally been flung, possessing no more than the cassock he was wearing, into an unmarked carriage and driven at speed to Tuscany to avoid his planned murder by Napoleon's troops
