Question

The Liber Tertius recounting the rise of this dynasty was written by its contemporary Hrotvistha of Gandersheim. (10[1])A ruler of this dynasty shared power with his canonized wife Adelaide of Italy. The East Francian king Henry the Fowler fathered the namesake of this dynasty, who defeated the Magyars (10[1])at the 955 Battle of Lechfeld (10[2])and revived a title (-5[1])first given to Charlemagne.
