description This paper examines the history of Italy as described by two medieval chroniclers from 9th and 10th centuries, namely Regino von Prüm and Widukind von Corvey. In Regino’s Chronicle, Italy is ruled by German and Byzantine rulers, local feudal lords and kings, as well as Saracen and Hungarian invaders. In his work Res gestae Saxonicae (History of Saxons), Widukind briefly mentions Otto the Great’s expeditions in Italy (which he has finally conquered and annexed), but fails to mention the fact that he was crowned emperor in Rome by Pope John XII in 962. Actually, he praises Otto’s fight against Hungarians and his final victory in the Battle of Lechfeld in 955. It seems that Widukind express dissatisfaction with Saxon aristocracy, since they thought that Otto’s long stay in Italy (the heart of the Empire) made Saxony vulnerable to Hungarian, Slav and Dane attacks.
