A Cristianiza o da Sax nia e a Transforma o da Figura Régia

This paper intends to analyze the changes motivated by the process of conversion to Christianism in Saxony between the 8th and 10th centuries, through the study of the Heliand, a reformulation of the Gospels to the Saxon culture and language, and Widukind of Corvey’s Res Gestae Saxoniae. I will focus on how the figures of Christ and the apostles, as well as the kings, are presented.
