Topic: Wittukind of Corvey


  
  Science Fair Projects - Hermanafrid
The fall of the Thuringian dynasty became the subject of numerous epic treatments, the best known of which is 'Rerum gestarum saxonicarum libri tres' by Wittukind of Corvey, a Saxon foundation myth written in 967.
Wittukind ends by doubting the truth of this story, but recounts that the milky way is called Iring's street to his day.
Wittukind is much later and has clearly incorporated mythical elements into his account.
