Hugh of Arles, King of Italy between 926 and 947, has come to be regarded as one of the more successful kings of Italy in the tenth century. The evidence of his charters supports this conclusion, showing how effectively he managed to insert members of his own Provencal family into the existing political fabric of northern Italy. Contemporary narrative sources tell the same story but as one of failure. For Rather of Verona, Liutprand of Cremona and even Flodoard of Reims, Hugh and his family were suspect and their sexual mores questionable. Their texts intervened in contemporary politics not simply as records of Hugh’s inadequacies but as real political actors which helped to make that failure happen.

成功的叙事与失败的叙事：意大利国王休（King Hugh）的职业代表（c.885-948）

阿尔勒的休（Argh）是926年至947年之间的意大利国王，现已被视为十世纪意大利最成功的国王之一。他的宪章证据支持了这一结论，显示出他如何有效地将自己的普罗旺斯家族成员插入意大利北部现有的政治组织中。当代叙事来源讲述的故事是一样的，但只是失败之一。对于维罗纳（Rona of Verona），克雷莫纳（Cremona）的柳特普兰德（Luttrand）甚至兰斯（Reims）的弗洛多（Flodoard）来说，休及其家人都值得怀疑，他们的性行为也值得怀疑。他们的著作不仅作为休的不足的记录，而且作为帮助使这种失败发生的真正的政治角色，介入了当代政治。
