Research Abstract |
The aim of this research was to investigate the political sphere of Medieval European World, focusing on the competitive intercourses for the title of Roman Emperor between the Byzantine Empire and western Ottonian court during the 10th-11th centuries. As well known, after some decades of desition of Carolingian Emperor, Otto I was crowned Emperor on 2 February 962 at Rome. It had firstly been ignored by Byzantine authorities, because they regarded their Emperor in Constantinople the only sovereign on the earth. During 960s, Western King Otto, now also Emperor, sought to rule in Italy and negotiated with Byzantine court. This study surveyed the facts concerning inter-Court negotiations on relevant sources which include not only the western but also Byzantine ones in Greek. The most important fruit of this study is a Japanese translation of "Relatio de Legatio Constantinopolitana" of Liudprand, Bishop of Cremona. The mission was dispatched in spring of 968, a crucial period between two autholities for the struggle over the realm of Italy. Including the full translation of this ambassador report with detailed notes, this reseach also covers analysis of imperial documents both of Byzantine and Ottonian.
