"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
