	Widukind of Corvey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Widukind of Corvey was a Saxon historical chronicler, named after (and possibly a descendant of) the Saxon duke and national hero Widukind who had battled Charlemagne.
		Widukind the chronicler was born in 925 and died after 973 at the Benedictine abbey of Corvey in Lower Saxony.
		Widukind wrote as a Saxon, proud of his people and history, beginning his annals, not with Rome but with a brief synopsis derived from the orally-tranmitted history of the Saxons, with a terseness that makes his work difficult to interpret.

		Nothing is known of his life except that he was a monk at the Benedictine abbey of Corvey, and that he died about 1004, although various other conjectures have been formed by students of his work.
		Widukind formed his style upon that of Sallust; he was familiar with the De vitis Caesarum of Suetonius, the Vita Karoli magni of Einhard, and probably with Livy and Bede.
		Many quotations from the Vulgate are found in his writings, and there are traces of a knowledge of Virgil, Ovid and other Roman poets.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Widukind of Corvey
		He was a Saxon, he began in 967 his Res gestae saxonicae sive annalium libri tres, devoted particularly to Henry I and Otto I, as stated in the dedication to Mathilde, Abbess of Quedlinburg.
		The work is of great value, because it is often the sole authority for the events mentioned, and because it describes persons truthfully and reliably, although only so far as they come within his range of vision; whatever was outside of Saxony was incomprehensible to him.
		His opinion of the Emperor Otto is incorrect, neither has he any conception of Otto s labours for the benefit of the Church Widukind is silent respecting the founding of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg, and he does not speak of the pope at all.

	Markt Roßtal: History
		In 954, Roßtal was first mentioned in the Saxon Chronicle by Monk Widukind of Corvey as "urbs horsadal" in the Saxon translation.
		It is therefore valid to assume that the history of Roßtal as a place began in the 7th century.
		The name Roßtal that Widukind encountered and subsequently translated into "horsadal" meaning "valley of the horses", is both untypical for the language of the Franks as well as for names given in this period.

	Untitled
		The early mentioning of our village in a document — monk Widukind from Corvey upon Weser Monastery describes a battle having taken place here in 954 — gives rise to the supposition that in those days, more than two centuries after the end of Franconia's conversion, a church building had already existed here.
		Except from the early Romanesque crypt which might have been built around the year 1020, only few traces of a predecessor building have been discovered when digging in the churchyard.
		Since the construction of the church many centuries have gone by, the church had to bear many a tempest and damage, but as the religious centre of the village it was rebuilt again and again by generations willing to make sacrifices and has been preserved as a dignified place for prayer and hymn of praise.

	Historians agree that Liudprand of Cremona is amusing(1), relatively informative, and not entirely trustworthy
		Previté‑Orton complained that, "he had a soul above documents," and was "singularly retentive of amorous scandal however devoid of probability."(2) Literary historians and critics also have not been entirely comfortable with him.
		For example, instead of considering him in the context of other tenth‑century historians, like Widukind of Corvey, Hrosthvita, Flodoard, or Richer, two twentieth‑century medievalists ‑‑ Erich Auerbach and Georg Misch ‑‑ have used him as a ficelle by means of which to praise Rather of Verona.
		Both fascinated and embarassed by Liudprand, Auerbach quotes a passage involving the Priapic equipment and activities of the priest Dominic, but spares it the kind of close analysis for which he is justly known(3).
