Text Gesta Hammaburgensis ecclesiae pontificum (1075 - 1076) Adam of Bremen
Quotation Eo tempore Dania cismarina, quam Iudland incolae appellant, in tres divisa episcopatus Hammaburgensi episcopatui subiecta est. Servantur in Bremensi ecclesia precepta regis, quae signant Ottonem regem in sua ditione regnum Danicum tenuisse, adeo ut etiam episcopatus ille donaverit. In privilegiis autem Romanae sedis videri potest, quod Agapitus papa Hammaburgensi ecclesiae de salute gentium congratulatus omnia, quae a decessoribus suis Gregorio, Nicolao, Sergio et ceteris Bremensi archiepiscopatui concessa sunt, et ipse concessit Adaldago. Cui etiam sua vice ius ordinandi episcopos tam in Daniam quam in ceteros septentrionis populos apostolica auctoritate concessit.
Translation At that time Denmark on this side of the sea, which is called Jutland by the inhabitants, was divided into three dioceses and subjected to the bishopric of Hamburg. In the church at Bremen are preserved the royal edicts which prove that King Otto held the Danish kingdom in his jurisdiction, so much so that he would even bestow the bishoprics. And it can be seen in the privileges of the Roman See that Pope Agapetus, in congratulating the Church of Hamburg upon the salvation of the heathen, also conceded to Adaldag everything that had been granted to the archbishopric of Bremen by his predecessors, Gregory, Nicholas, Sergius, and others. To him also was conceded by virtue of apostolic authority the right to consecrate bishops as papal legates to Denmark as well as to the other peoples of the north. (Trans. Tschan, pp. 56-7)
