- Liutprand (also Liudprand, Liuprand, Lioutio, Liucius, Liuzo, and Lioutsios; c.922–972) was a Lombard historian and author, and Bishop of Cremona. He was born into a prominent family of Pavia towards the beginning of the 10th century. In 931 he entered service as page to Hugh of Arles, who kept court at Pavia as King of Italy and who married the notorious and powerful Marozia of Rome. He was educated at the court and became a cleric at the Cathedral of Pavia. After Hugh died in 947, leaving his son and co-king Lothair on the throne as King of Italy, Liutprand became confidential secretary to the actual ruler of Italy, Berengar II, marchese d'Ivrea, for whom he became chancellor and by whom he was sent on an embassy (949) to the Byzantine court of Constantine VII Porphyrogenitus. Since both Liutprand's father and his stepfather had been sent as ambassadors to Constantinople, and as Liutprand prepared himself by learning Greek (not widely known in the 10th-century West) he seemed well suited for a mission of that kind. This he describes in his antihellenic account, Antapodosis ("retribution") where he repeats all the western calumnies about Greeks and Romans, whom he describes variously as lying, wily, effeminate, unwarlike and other epithets. On the Roman Empire and the Greek Romans he had this to say History, teaches that the fratricide Romulus, from whom also the Romans are named, was born in adultery; and that he made an asylum for himself in which he received insolvent debtors, fugitive slaves, homicides, and those who were worthy of death for their deeds. And he called to himself a certain number of such and called them Romans. From such nobility those are descended whom you call world-rulers, that is, emperors; whom we, namely the Lombards, Saxons, Franks, Lotharingians, Bavarians, Swabians, Burgundians, so despise, that when angry, we can call our enemies nothing more scornful than Roman-comprehending in this one thing, that is in the name of the Romans, whatever there is of contemptibility, of timidity, of avarice, of luxury, of lying: in a word, of viciousness. But because you do maintain that we are unwarlike and ignorant of horsemanship, if the sins of the Christians shall merit that you shall remain in this hard-heartedness: the next battle will show what you are, and how warlike we. On his return, however, he fell from favor at Pavia and attached himself to Berengar's rival, the emperor Otto I who became King of Italy upon the death of Lothair in 950. With Otto I he returned to Italy in 961 and was invested as bishop of Cremona the following year. At Otto's court, he met Recemund, a Córdoban ambassador, who convinced him to write a history of his days (the later Antapodosis, which was dedicated to Recemund). Liutprand was often entrusted with important diplomacy and in 963 he was sent to Pope John XII at the beginning of the quarrel between the Pope and the emperor, involving papal allegiance with Berenger's son Adelbert. Liutprand attended the Roman conclave of bishops that deposed John XII, November 6, 963 and wrote the only connected narrative of the events. He was frequently employed in missions to the pope, and in 968 he was sent again to Constantinople, this time to demand for the younger Otto the hand of Theophano, daughter of the emperor Romanus II. Peace with the Eastern Emperor, who still claimed Benevento and Capua, which were actually in Lombard hands and whose forces had come to strife with Otto in Bari recently, was Liutprand's recommended course of action. His humiliating and disastrous reception at Constantinople was triply rankling. (For excerpts of his bitter Relatio see link below. ) His account of this embassy in the Relatio de Legatione Constantinopolitana is perhaps the most graphic and lively piece of writing which has come down to us from the 10th century. The detailed description of Constantinople and the Byzantine court is a document of rare value, though highly coloured by his hatred of Hellenism and the Roman empire. The Catholic Encyclopedia asserted "Liutprand's writings are a very important historical source for the tenth century; he is ever a strong partisan and is frequently unfair towards his adversaries. " Whether he returned in 971 with the embassy to bring Theophano or not is uncertain. Liutprand must have died in 972, for his successor as bishop of Cremona was installed in 973.

Liutprando de Cremona (Liudprand o Luitprand), historiador de los lombardos y obispo de Cremona, nació a comienzos del siglo X de familia noble. En 931 entró al servicio de Hugo de Arlés, en la corte de Pavía (como rey de Italia). Tras la muerte de éste en 947, Liutprando pasó a ser secretario del verdadero gobernante de Italia, Berengario II de Ivrea, para quien fue canciller y luego embajador en la corte bizantina de Constantino VII Porfirogeneta. A su vuelta, perdió el favor de la corte de Pavía, y se pasó al bando del oponente de Berengario, el emperador Otón I, que fue rey de Italia a la muerte de Lotario en 950, y con quien volvió a Italia en 961 y fue investido obispo de Cremona en 962. Volvió a ser enviado a Constantinopla, con el fin de pedir para el joven Otón (que luego fue el emperador Otón II) la mano de Teófano, hija del emperador bizantino Romano II. Su relato de esta embajada en la Relatio de Legatione Constantinopolitana es quizá la descripción más gráfica y vívida que nos ha llegado de la corte y la capital bizantina en el siglo X, aunque no deja de relatar las ofensas recibidas y la dignidad herida, con una postura muy partidista anti-bizantina.
- Liutprand de Crémone naît vers 920-922 à Pavie, dans une famille noble lombarde vivant à la cour du roi Hugues de Provence. A l'époque, les Crémone font profiter le roi de leur connaissance de la langue grecque: en 927 et à nouveau en 942, Hugues envoie un membre de sa famille en ambassade à Constantinople. Liutprand vit dans un premier temps à la cour du roi Hugues. Il passe ensuite au service de l'ancien premier ministre Bérenger II lorsque celui-ci renverse Hugues en 945. Sous les ordres de Bérenger, Liutprand est alors envoyé en ambassade à Constantinople auprès de Constantin VII en 949. À son retour, il se brouille avec Bérenger II, et le quitte vers 955 pour rejoindre la cour d'Otton I, qui après avoir conquis une partie de l'Italie le nomme évêque de Pavie en 961, puis de Crémone. Il participe au concile de Rome deux ans plus tard, en 963. En 968, Liutprand retourne en ambassade à Constantinople demander à l'Empereur Nicéphore II Phocas la main d'une princesse Porphyrogénète pour le fils d'Otton I, Otton II. Il revient bredouille devant Otton I, qui comptait bien obtenir par ce mariage la paix avec l'empire byzantin, la reconnaissance par l'empereur byzantin (Liutprand nous rapporte que l'on appelle Otton « Rex » et non « Basileus » à la cour byzantine) du titre d'« Empereur et Auguste » que le pape lui a conféré, ainsi que les terres conquises sur le domaine byzantin. Liutprand effectue peut-être une troisième ambassade en 971, toujours à Constantinople, qui aurait enfin permis à Otton II d'épouser la princesse byzantine Théophano Skleraina. Il meurt vers 972.
