Alpert of Metz

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alpert of Metz[1] (d. 1024) was a Benedictine chronicler of the eleventh century. His De diversitate temporum[2] 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.[3]
