	Liutprand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After Hugh died in 947, leaving his son and co-king Lothair on the throne as King of Italy, Liutprand became confidential secretary to the actual ruler of Italy, Berengar II, marchese d'Ivrea, for whom he became chancellor and by whom he was sent on an embassy (949) to the Byzantine court of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus.
		Liutprand was often entrusted with important diplomacy for Berenger: in 963 he was sent to Pope John XII at the beginning of the quarrel between the pope and the emperor, when the papacy was allied with Berenger's son Adelbert.
		Liutprand must have died in 972, for his successor as bishop of Cremona was installed in 973.

	Liutprand of Cremona
		In 963 Liutprand undertook a mission for the Emperor to Pope John XII and later that year played an important part in a synod at Rome at which John was deposed and Leo VIII was elected pope.
		The mission was unsuccessful; Liutprand's chronicles include a bitter description of his rude treatment by the emperor Nicephorus II Phocas.
		Liutprand was a vivid writer and a biassed reporter.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Liutprand of Cremona
		After Otto had received the imperial crown at Rome (2 February, 962) Liutprand was often entrusted with important commissions, e.g., in 963 when he was sent as ambassador to John XII at the beginning of the quarrel between the pope and the emperor, owing to the former's alliance with Berenger's son Adelbert.
		After the death of the antipope, Leo VIII (965), Liutprand again went to Rome with Bishop Otgar of Speyer, as the emperor's envoy, to conduct the election of a new pope, on which occasion John XIII was chosen.
		Liutprand's writings are a very important historical source for the tenth century; he is ever a strong partisan and is frequently unfair towards his adversaries.

		Liutprand reluctantly consented to restore the country districts around Ravenna and two-thirds of the territory of Cesena, and to grant a truce until the king's emissaries should return from Constantinople, whither they had gone for the purpose of concluding a final treaty.
		Under Liutprand's laws if a Roman married a Langobard woman she lost her status, and the sons born in such a union were Romans like their father and had to live by his laws.
		The principal objects of Liutprand's aggressions during the greater part of his career were the duchies of Spoleto and Benevento so far as these aspired to independent sovereignty; also the Eastern Empire, though he allied himself with the exarch when he found it necessary for the purpose of reducing the duchies to submission.

		Liutprand‘s account of his discourteous treatment at Nicephorus’s court, and the subsequent breakdown of the marriage negotiations with no real settlement, was recorded by Liutprand in the most anti-imperial document since Procopius’s secret history criticized Justinian and Theodora’s reign in the 500’s.

		Liutprand, master of Bologna, and of Cesena, had Ravenna in his hands when Zachary besought him to spare it.

		In this matter, the laws of Liutprand show a remarkable advance on the Edict of Rothari in the direction of severity.
		Liutprand enacted that in the case of murder (as distinguished from homicide, accidental or in self-defence) the culprit should be punished by confiscation of his whole property.
		He says that evilminded persons would sometimes challenge a man in order to vex him, and he considers cases where a man who was defeated in the battle is afterwards proved innocent of the charge.

		Liutprand's reply came swiftly in 448 AC, when four Hattian Legions engaged the Kerendans in the fields before the city of Kerendas.
		Liutprand himself oversaw the battle, and with the aid of his daughter and her "acolytes" (sycophant Alphatian outcasts, believed to have been from the same cult that founded New Alphatia on Trader's Isle), the battle was over in short order, and the cream of Kerendan chivalry died on the field that day.
