Shelves: biography, history. The book includes letters written by Frederick himself, and by the Popes of the time. The chronology is at times confusing; and Otto often "steps out" of the story line to give background on events that have or are about to take place.

Personal Subject: Frederick I, Holy Roman Emperor, ca. 1123-1190. Bishop Otto of Freising, maternal uncle of Frederick Barbarossa, had already acquired a reputation as a major historian for his work the Two Cities before he began the official biography of the great medieval German emperor. Although The Deeds of Frederick Barbarossa covers only the first eight years of Frederick's long and eventful reign, it illuminates that period when, as Professor Mierow says, 'Frederick's star shone most brightly.

Charles Christopher Mierow, ed. This comparison reminded the medieval courtly reader that the emperor was anointed by God and on equal footing with the priesthood. New York: Columbia University Press, 2004. Emperor Frederick Barbarossa wrote these words in a letter to Otto, Bishop of Freising, to preface his outline of the main events that had taken place during the first five years of his reign (1152-57). This brief sketch of his reign was intended to aid Otto in writing an "official biography" for the emperor and his court.

"The Deeds of Frederick Barbarossa" is the "official biography" of German king and Holy Roman Emperor Frederick I. This historical firsthand account was begun by his maternal uncle, Bishop Otto of Freising, the leading medieval church figure and notable historian, and continued by a less well known cleric, Rahewin. This chronicle is the single most important source for the early reign of Frederick Barbarossa and the most valuable biographical study to come out of the twelfth century. In a letter written to his uncle, Frederick recounted his life and the principal events of his reign. The first of the four books that constitute this account were written by Otto and cover events from 1075 to 1152, from the reign of Henry IV through that of Conrad III. The second book draws heavily on the letter, providing invaluable insight into Frederick's attempts to establish and consolidate the Hohenstaufen empire. The final two books, written by Rahewin, follow the emperor's reign through 1160, during which time Frederick restored order at home, recovered imperial control of Burgundy, and re-created an imperial party in Italy

  • A good book that has a lot of the personal history including many letters. Lacks many historical details provided in Pacaut's book.

  • A primary historical text, but which provides few insights into its time.

  • The author immediately professes the nature of his work (though not the entirety of said nature) and prepares the reader for some omissions - which is my only problem with the book. Considering it wasnt meant to be a collection of info for posterity to study as much as a gift for his powerful and currently in power nephew helps to explain said omissions. The content left in however is of great interest; the Hohenstaufen struggles pre-Barbarossa, the action at each stage of his Early Italian campaigns, and the glimpse of the often messy and ambiguous blend of what we in our time would call church and state.

    A word of caution to potential readers: Otto gets pretty philosophical on you. He completely departs from the text to discuss philosophy with you several times and I think the first time he does it; it doesn't even get related back to the core of his work. He comically interrupts himself with great one liners when he knows his philosophy has outstayed its welcome though which helps me to forgive the uninvited philosophy lessons.

  • I bought the Deeds of Frederick Barbarossa for my High Middle Ages class, and the text offers an interesting slice of history of the reign of Frederick Barbarossa. Begun by FB's uncle, Bishop Otto of Freising, it was completed by Otto's assistant, who arguably offers a more solid history than his more skilled and sophisticated predecessor.
