Pearson & Becher edit

Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

Without having read her book, Pearson's position regarding Tassilo seems basically to be a summary of the work by Matthias Becher in his "Eid und Herrschaft" from 1989, and hopefully Pearson did attribute these ideas to him in her footnotes. The same should be done here, instead of presenting it as her own original thought. Still it couldn't hurt verifying if Pearson does, with regard to the Royal Frankish Annals, indeed talk about a "reworking" or "revision" of an (unnamed) "original document": the Royal Annals were only compiled around 788 (so there is no earlier "original" version from the 750s/760s that could have been altered), but they do indeed deviate from - and probably embellish for political reasons - reports in some older (contemporary) Frankish annals which the compiler used as his source for the events surrounding Tassilo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.22.50.175 (talk) 12:13, 2 September 2011 (UTC)Reply
