The chronology is there to show how harassing the top job in Christendom could be. Perhaps Otto wasn't a brilliant stylist, but I can't find anything contemporary that is so good regarding the Plantagenets. This all leads back into the interrelationships of the Hohenstauffen with the Americi of Monferrat. Read carefully to see that, and then on to the "The Talisman" for a hatchet job almost as good as Shakespeare/Bacon on Richard III ! read twice, and dipped into a lot! Originally composed in the 1160's. ( ) ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
"The Deeds of Frederick Barbarossa" is the "official biography" of German king and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I. This historical firsthand account was begun by his maternal uncle, Bishop Otto of Freising, the leading medieval church figure and notable historian, and continued by a less well known cleric, Rahewin. This chronicle is the single most important source for the early reign of Frederick Barbarossa and the most valuable biographical study to come out of the twelfth century. In a letter written to his uncle, Frederick recounted his life and the principal events of his reign. The first of the four books that constitute this account were written by Otto and cover events from 1075 to 1152, from the reign of Henry IV through that of Conrad III. The second book draws heavily on the letter, providing invaluable insight into Frederick's attempts to establish and consolidate the Hohenstaufen empire. The final two books, written by Rahewin, follow the emperor's reign through 1160, during which time Frederick restored order at home, recovered imperial control of Burgundy, and re-created an imperial party in Italy No library descriptions found. |
