Quotation Et quia primores Italiae Ingelbergam propter suam insolentiam habentes exosam, in loco illius filiam Winigisi imperatori substituentes, obtinuerunt apud eundem imperatorem, ut missum suum ad Ingelbergam mitteret, quatenus in Italiam degeret et post illium non pergeret, sed eum in Italia reversurum exspectaret. Ipsa autem non obaudiens illius mandatum, post eum ire maturavit (...).
Translation trans. Nelson, a. 872, p. 179. The magnates of Italy hated Engelberga because of her high-handedness, so they pressed the emperor to accept the daughter of Winigis in her place, and got him to agree to send an envoy to Engelberga telling her to stay in Italy and not to follow him south but to wait until he came back again to Italy. Engelberga, however, paid not the slightest attention to these instructions, but hastened after Louis.
Summary Empress Angilberga returns to the south of Italy against the orders of her husband. Alleged plot by Italian magnates to replace her as Louis’ wife.
