Royal expedition into Italy around Michaelmas
The Chronica regia Coloniensis places the king’s expedition into Italy around the feast of Saint Michael.
Limits: OpenMGH bsb00000768, second parallel recension. This records an expedition occurring, rather than merely its proclamation. The first recension at lines 3768–3769 records its proclamation without the feast date. Both accounts subsequently extend into the Roman coronation narrative; that continuation does not supply the expedition’s year.
