Gesta Berengarii Imperatoris

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Gesta Berengarii Imperatoris (or "Deeds of the Emperor Berengar") is an epic poem chronicling the career of Berengar of Friuli from its inception (c.874) until his imperial coronation in Rome in December 915. It is highly praiseworthy of its namesake and comes off as a court panegyric.

It is "difficult and often maddeningly vague."[1]
