LI'UTPRAND, or Luitprand, an hifiorical writer 
of the tenth century, is by fome accpunted a Spaniard, 
but more probably was an Italian of Pavia. His father 
was a perfon in the confidence of Hugo king of Italy. 
Liutprand was placed when young in the court of Beren- 
ger II. who obtained the kingdom by difpofleffing Hugo; 
and was fent by him ambalfador to the Greek emperor 
Conftantine Porphyrogenitus. For this office he was 
chofen on account of his acquaintance with the Greek 
language, in which he improved himfelf on his embafly. 
Some time afterwards he loft the favour of Berenger, 
and was obliged, about the year 958, to go as an exile 
to Germany. During his refidence there, he compofed 
the hiftory of his own times, which is extant. He was 
then a deacon of the church of Pavia. The fall of Be¬ 
renger, who was ftript of his dominions in 961 by Otho 
I. reftored Liutprand to his country; and he was foon af¬ 
ter confecrated bilhop of Cremona. In this quality he at¬ 
tended an aflembly of biffiops held at Rome in 963, in op- 
pofition to pope John XII In 968 he went again as am- 
baffador to the court of Conftantinople,in the name of Otho, 
to demand the daughter of the Greek emperor for the fon 
of Otho. His million, however, was ineffectual; and he 
returned full of ill-will againft that court," the pride and 
ignorance of which he fatirized in a relation of this era- 
baffy, annexed to his hiftory. It is not known how much 
longer he furvived ; but his fignature occurs in a fynod 
held at Ravenna in 970, .under the name of Liuzio bilhop 
of Cremona, by which name heis alfo mentioned by another 
writer. The hiftorical work of Liutprand is in fix books; 
but it is fuppofed that the fix lad chapters of the fixth 
book are by another hand. The narration commences 
with the emperor Arnulph, and clofes with Otho. It is 
written in a much more agreeable and pclilhed ftyle than 
that of his contemporary hiftorians; but at the fame time 
farcaftic and fatirical, especially when he (peaks of Beren¬ 
ger and his wife Villa. It has been feveral times printed ;
