Packet 1: Tossup 14

Description acceptable. An agreement that partially recognized this event also confirmed the vassalage of Duke Borna, ending a war that destroyed Tarsatica. This event was partially recognized by Michael I Rangabe (-5[1])in exchange for lands in Dalmatia as part of the Pax Nicephori. (15[1])Most modern historians like Henry (15[1])Mayr-Harting agree this event was first planned at Paderborn after a man (15[1])was saved from mutilation by Winigis; (15[1])that planning contradicts (*) Einhard’s claim that it took (10[1])a supposedly (10[1]-5[1])humble (10[1])man by surprise. (10[6]-5[1])To justify (10[4])this event, (10[2])The Annals (10[1])of Lorsch (10[1])cites the gender of Irene of Athens (10[3])and (10[1]-5[1])the concept of Translatio (10[1]-5[1])imperii. (10[1])A newly reinstated pope (10[1])led this (10[1])event at Christmas (10[1])Mass in the year 800 (10[2])at St. Peter’s Basilica. (10[3])For 10 (10[1])points, identify or describe this event in which Pope Leo (10[1])III bestowed a higher rank on a Frankish king. ■END■ (10[4])
