  Spoletium, die Schule der italienischen Sprache: Die Geschichte von Spoleto
Spoleto liegt in Umbrien, genau in Mittelitalien und dominiert von einem Hügel aus ein fruchtbares Tal, das sich bis nach Assisi und Perugia erstreckt.
Spoleto, das mittlerweile zum Stadtstaat geworden ist, wird nach dem Jahr 1000 nach und nach der päpstlichen Herrschaft unterstellt.
Spoleto ist nicht nur durch seine eindrucksvollen Denkmäler und Kunstwerke sondern auch aufgrund eines grossen kulturellen Ereignisses auch auf internationaler Ebene bekannt, welches von Giancarlo Menotti 1957 initiiert und zum ersten Mal veranstaltet wurde: Das Festival der Zwei Welten.

  Lambert of Spoleto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lambert of Spoleto (?–October 15, 898) was a Duke of Spoleto (as Lambert II, 894–898), King of Italy (892–898) and Emperor (894-898).
Lambert was crowned king and emperor alongside his father in April 892 at Pavia by a reluctant Pope Formosus.
Lambert was preoccupied in thwarting the attempts of both Berengar of Friuli and Arnulf of Carinthia to take Italy for themeselves during his reign.

 John VIII - LoveToKnow 1911
His chief aim during his pontificate was to defend the Roman state and the authority of the Holy See at Rome from the Saracens, and from the nascent feudalism which was represented outside by the dukes of Spoleto and the marquises of Tuscany and within by a party of Roman nobles.
John attempted to temporize, but Lambert, duke of Spoleto, a partisan of Carloman, whom sickness had recalled to Germany, entered Rome in 878 with an overwhelming force, and for thirty days virtually held John a prisoner in St Peter's.
Lambert was, however, unsuccessful in winning any concession from the pope, who after his withdrawal carried out a previous purpose of going to France.

 Guy of Spoleto - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 842, the former Duchy of Spoleto, which had been donated to the Papacy by Charlemagne, was resurrected by the Franks to be held against Byzantine governors to the south, as a Frankish border territory by a dependent margrave.
Among the more outstanding of the Frankish dukes, Guy I (married to Rothilde, a daughter of Lothair I) divided the duchy between his two sons, Lambert, who received Spoleto, and Guy, who received as his share the lordship of Camerino, which was made a duchy.
Guy's power never extended over much hereditary lands, which offered stark illustration of the fact that the imperial title, with its pretentions of universal rule, had by the end of the ninth century become merely a token of the Pope's favour, to be fought over by various Italian nobles.

 Spoleto
Under Hildebrand the Duchy of Spoleto was promised to the Holy See by the King of the Franks, and the duke himself was named by Pope Adrian (773), but the succeeding dukes were named by the Frankish emperors.
Lambert distinguished himself in the wars against the Saracens, but disgraced himself by massacres at Rome in 867; he was afterwards deposed (871), then restored (876), but was a second time excommunicated by Pope John VIII.
Spoleto has no suffragan see; it has 172 parishes, with 170 secular and 60 regular clergy, 92,000 souls, 14 monasteries for men, and 11 convents for women, 3 colleges for boys, and 2 for girls.

 Formosus - LoveToKnow 1911
At that time the Holy See was engaged in a struggle against the oppression of the princes of Spoleto, and a powerful party in Rome was eager to obtain the intervention of Arnulf, king of Germany, against these dangerous neighbours.
Formosus himself shared this view; but he was forced to yield to circumstances and to consecrate as emperor Lambert, the young son of Guy of Spoleto.
But, as he was advancing on Spoleto against Lambert, Arnulf was seized with paralysis, and was forced to return to Germany.

 Italy
Spoleto had been one of the semi-autonomous Lombard Duchies of Southern Italy, under rather closer control of the Lombard Kings in the north than the more distant, and durable, Duchy of Benevento.
Spoleto was then revived, however, as a Duchy or Margravate under the Carolingians.
Spoleto thus belongs to Italy as part of Franica Media, while Benevento shares the fate of Southern Italy, in the Periphery of Francia.

Doubtless under pressure from the Spoleto contingent, the rotting corpse of Formosus was exhumed and put on trial, in the so-called Cadaver Synod (or ''Synodus Horrenda''), in January 897.

Though the instigators of the deed may actually have been Formosus' enemies, Lambert of Spoleto and his mother Ageltruda, who had recovered their authority in Rome at the beginning of 897 by renouncing their broader claims in central Italy, the outrage ended in Stephen's imprisonment and his death by strangling that summer.
