Placed in AD 841 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Limits: Prudentius section, pinned Wikisource revision 228344. The immediately preceding sentence supplies Fontanidus in pago Altiodorensi as the location. The account favors Louis and Charles; its moral characterization of the conflict is not adopted here.
