Plüddemann, Hermann Freihold (1809-1868)

Emperor Fredrick Barbarossa at the imperial Diet of Besançon in 1157 Appeasing the Dispute of the Quarreling Factions. 1859. A letter from the Pope, which was translated in an inflammatory manner by the imperial chancellor Rainald of Dassel, caused a critical argument between the papal delegation and the German princes over whether or not the empire was dependent upon the papacy. Cardinal Roland (later Pope Alexander III) explained later that he meant the word beneficium, which had caused all the trouble, to mean benefit and not fief. Oil on canvas, 157 x 243 cm. Inv. Gal. Nr. 2343. Photo: Elke Estel / Hans-Peter Klut.
