ABSTRACT The return of Berengar of Ivrea to Italy in 945 was a point of great change for the political networks of the kingdom of Italy. Berengar is typically presented assuming control, first ruling in practice with the Bosonids Hugh and Lothar as puppets, then openly taking the crown following Lothar’s death in 950. Berengar, we are told, installed those who supported his insurrection in key positions, and marginalised or suborned those who had supported the Bosonids. This account is based almost exclusively on the narrative of the Antapodosis of Liutprand of Cremona. Liutprand’s work had complex personal and political motivations which led him to construct carefully an image of Hugh, Lothar, Berengar and of Italy as a whole. Moreover, Liutprand’s narrative conflicts with contemporary accounts of the period, as well as the charter record. This article demonstrates these inconsistencies and describes more nuanced changes in political structures in 945–50.

休，洛萨尔和贝伦加：意大利945–50年的均势

摘要945年，伊夫里亚（Ivrea）的贝伦加（Berengar）返回意大利，这对意大利王国的政治网络来说是一个巨大的转变。贝伦加通常是在假定控制的情况下提出的，首先在实践中以波松尼人休和洛萨尔为p，然后在洛萨于950年去世后公开摘取桂冠。我们被告知，贝伦加在那些关键岗位上支持他的暴动的人，被边缘化或那些曾经支持过波西尼家族的人深感钦佩。该叙述几乎完全基于克雷莫纳的柳普兰德的脚足纲动物的叙述。Liutprand的工作具有复杂的个人和政治动机，这使他精心构建了Hugh，Lothar，Berengar和整个意大利的形象。此外，刘特普兰的叙事与该时期的当代叙述以及宪章记录有冲突。
