Within the Gniezno Summit Roman Michałowski analyses the explanations at the back of the founding of the Archbishopric of Gniezno in the course of Otto III’s stumble upon with Bolesław Chrobry in Gniezno in 1000.
For Michałowski there have been major purposes. One used to be the martyrdom of St. Adalbert, the Apostle of the Prussians. His physique was once buried in Gniezno, which placed the Gniezno bishopric on a par with bishoprics based by way of the Apostles. This used to be a massive argument in favour of Gniezno being raised to the rank of archbishopric. the opposite cause used to be Otto III’s spirituality. The emperor used to be desirous about the belief of asceticism and forsaking the area. for this reason his political programme, the Renovatio Imperii Romanorum, additionally had non secular goals, and Otto attempted to help missions one of the pagans. as a consequence he wanted an archbishopric at the north-eastern outskirts of the Empire.

Example text

51 Beumann claimed categorically that this was indeed the case (Beuman, Theutonum nova metropolis), 208, 215–216. 52 Thietmar, lib. I, cap. 2, 5. 53 However, irrespective of whether the hypothesis concerning the Roman origins of the city was known in the late 10th and early 11th century, it left no trace in documents from the Ottonian period. On the contrary, the documents claim emphatically and consistently that Magdeburg was founded by Otto I. This was how the matter was presented at the Ravenna synod, a fact evidenced by the account quoted above, and by two papal documents—one genuine54 and one false.

However, the Roman past, however glorious, did not satisfy the ambitions of the local clergy. As early as in the second half of the 10th century there began to spread a view that the see in question was older than the Eternal City itself, for it had been founded by the eponymous Trebeta, son of Ninus. 36 The founding of Nineveh took place at the very beginning of human history, even before the birth of Romulus and Remus. The intellectuals who spread this theory wanted to achieve something more than just vain glory.

190, 375. On the other hand, worthy of note is Benedict VII’s bull for Archbishop Gisiler of 26 April 983, a document regarded by the last editor as a forgery fabricated by Gisiler himself (Papsturkunden, vol. 1, no. †280, 547–548). It contains the following preamble: “Si ęcclesias Dei, quę in locis, ubi antiquitus constructę sunt, a noviter nostris temporibus construuntur, apostolica et canonica auctoritate, quod nostri officii est, privilegii nostri donatione exaltamus et confirmamus, id procul dubio nobis spiritualiter et carnaliter profuturum esse credimus” (548) (“If God’s Churches are now in our own time rebuilt in places where they had been constructed in antiquity, we exalt and confirm them by the donation of our privilege by means of the canonical and apostolic authority that is vested in our office, we believe that this will without doubt be to our spiritual and corporal benefit”).
