Excellent- More about Construction of Ottonian Kingship: Narratives and Myth in Tenth-Century Germany
German historians traditionally believed that the German Kingdom was established with Henry the Fowler's coronation in 919, but the study of Liudprand of Cremona's Antapodosis reveals a different narrative. This chronicle challenges the traditional understanding of the tenth century in Western Europe and highlights the longevity of Ottonian myths and the ideological expressions of storytellers during that time.
Format: Hardback
Length: 294 pages
Publication date: 07 August 2018
Publisher: Amsterdam University Press
German historians have long believed that the German Kingdom was established with Henry the Fowler's coronation in 919. The reigns of both Henry the Fowler and his son Otto the Great have been extensively studied and researched, primarily through Widukind of Corvey's chronicle, Res Gestae Saxonicae. However, one source on Ottonian times has been notably absent from most serious research: Liudprand of Cremona's Antapodosis. The study of this chronicle offers a fresh perspective on the tenth century in Western Europe, revealing how the mythology of the dynasty was constructed. By examining the later reception of this chronicle, from the later Middle Ages to the 19th and 20th-century historiography, the author showcases the enduring legacy of Ottonian myths and the ideological expressions of the storytellers of that era.
