Jordan of Osnabrück

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jordan of Osnabrück (c.1220-15 April 1284 in Osnabrück) was a significant German political writer of the thirteenth century. He is known for his work De praerogativa Romani imperii. Antony Black writes:

In the tracts written between c.1250 and c.1281 by Jordan of Osnabrück and Alexander of Roes [...] it was claimed that divine dispensation had alloted the empire to Germans via Charlemagne.[1]
