Schatzmann" <[log in to unmask]> But the main reason for my posting is the humble request to shed some light on my ignorance: Could you please spend another few words on the history of Otto III opening Charlemagne's tomb since I'm not familiar with the story? (Or indicate me a book where I can find it?) Thank you very much! Niklaus Schatzmann ------ =_NextPart_000_01BD5908.040FD9C0 Content-Type: application/ms-tnef Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Otto III meets Charles the Great: You will find the story in Ademar of Chabannes, Chronicon, ed. J. Chavanon Paris 1897 and also (completely different slant) in Annales Hildesheimenses, s.a. 1000 (MGH SSrG VIII). There is a really good forthcoming paper on the event by Knut G"orich, 'Otto III. oeffnet das Karlsgrab in Aachen', in _Herrschaftsrepr"asentation im ottonischen Sachsen_ ed. ? G.Althoff and ? someone else which will be a volume in the Vortr"age und Forschungen series. You will also find comment and references in Althoff's recent book on Otto III (Otto III., Primus Verlag: Darmstadt, 1997. It would also be worth looking at G"orich's _Otto III. Romanus Saxonicus et Italicus_ (Sigmaringen 1993) Julia Barrow %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
