sentence construction - What's the grammar of "was as far as ever from realizing his dream of an independent Italian kingdom"?


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Julius_II#League_of_Cambrai_and_Holy_League


The sentence is:



Although Julius had securely established papal authority in the region immediately around Rome was as far as ever from realizing his dream of an independent Italian kingdom.





I add a related question:


Is it necessary or better to exchange the positions of the noun ("Julius") and the pronoun ("he"), so that the noun is in the main clause?



"Although he had securely established papal authority in the region immediately around Rome, Julius was as far as ever from realizing his dream of an independent Italian kingdom."




How to arrange the noun and its pronouns in a sentence?
