Vincent of Prague
Srnec: start
'''Vincent of Prague''' ( 1140–1170) was a [[Czechs|Czech]] priest and chronicler. He was a [[Canon (priest)|canon]] and [[notary]] of [[Prague Cathedral]]. His ''Annals'' cover the reign of [[Vladislaus II, Duke and King of Bohemia|Vladislav II of Bohemia]] from his accession in 1140 until 1167.<ref name=LW>Lisa Wolverton (2016), [https://ift.tt/2PBgC2m "Vincent of Prague"], ''[[Encyclopedia of the Medieval Chronicle]]'', ed. Graeme Dunphy, Cristian Bratu (Brill). Consulted online on 30 October 2019.</ref>
Vincent was in the entourage of Bishop [[Daniel of Prague]] between 1154 and 1160. He was thus an eyewitness to many important events in the [[Holy Roman Empire]]. He took part with Daniel and Vladislav in Emperor [[Frederick Barbarossa|Frederick I]]'s campaign in Italy in 1158.<ref name=LW/> When [[Milan]] sued for peace, the city first approached the bishops—including Daniel of Prague—and then Vladislav, who dictated terms of surrender that Vincent wrote down. [[Rahewin]] included the text of this surrender agreement in his chronicle.<ref>John B. Freed (2016), ''Frederick Barbarossa: The Prince and the Myth'' (Yale University Press) p. 227.</ref>
Vincent's ''Annals'' is a strictly chronological account of Vladislav's reign down to 1167, when it abruptly stops. The Italian campaign of 1158 takes up over a third of the work.<ref name=LW/> In his prologue Vincent states his purpose as recording the ''[[Gesta (disambiguation)|gesta]]'' (deeds) of King Vladislav and the ''opera gloriosa'' (glorious works) of his queen, [[Judith of Thuringia]]. The unfinished ''Annals'' were continued by [[Gerlach of Milevsko]] between 1214 and 1222.<ref>Florin Curta (2019), [https://ift.tt/34gYy1Y ''Eastern Europe in the Middle Ages (500–1300)''], 2 vols.
