	H-Net Review: Gillian B. Elliott on The Deeds of Frederick Barbarossa
		Otto provided the text of a letter, however, in which Pope Eugenius (1145-53) accused Frederick of having overstepped the limits of his authority in church matters and hoped he would return the choice of bishop back to the church of Magdeburg.
		Otto does not cast any judgment upon this conflict between pope and emperor, but in the end he recorded that the pope died in 1153 and the emperor installed his new bishop at Magdeburg.
		Differences between Otto's account and the later books of his secretary have also intrigued historians who wish to gain a better sense of Barbarossa's era.[5] Because Otto was related to the emperor and had even traveled with Frederick on the Second Crusade, he probably had little to fear from Barbarossa by recording events truthfully.
