Liutprand of Cremona was a bishop, ambassador, and historian whose writings captured the courts of Europe and Byzantium with unmatched vividness. His keen observations, lively narrative, and original spirit of freedom and genius made him one of the most distinctive voices of the tenth century, his prejudices as memorable as his insights.
