This book presents an early medieval historical account of the activities of the Hamburg-Bremen archbishops, providing valuable insights into the Christianization of Northern Europe during the 9th century. The author, writing in the 11th century, chronicles the lives and missionary work of the archbishops from Willehad, who converted the Saxons around 780 AD, to Unni, who succeeded him in 805 AD. The book also discusses the establishment of the archdiocese of Hamburg and its subsequent transfer to Bremen. It examines the challenges faced by the missionaries in converting the pagan Saxons and the role of the archbishops in consolidating Christian rule in the region. The author draws on a wide range of sources, including papal letters, conciliar decrees and the works of earlier historians, to reconstruct the events of this period.
