Alpert of Metz

Alpert of Metz

Alpert of Metz [Albert of Metz, Alpertus of Metz, Alpertus Mettensis, Alpertus van Metz, Albertus van Metz, Alpert von Metz] (died 1024) was a Benedictine chronicler of the eleventh century. His "De diversitate temporum" [The Diversity of Times; known also as "Gebeurtenissen van deze tijd", a Dutch translation.] is a major source for the history of Western Europe (particularly for France and the Netherlands) in the period it covers, which is 990 to 1021. It was dedicated to Burkhart of Worms.

Alpert wrote other works, including a partial biography of Bishop Dietrich I of Metz. [ Diederik van Metz: see , [http://www.bautz.de/bbkl/t/theoderich_i_v_me.shtml ] .]
