Peter de Pretio

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Petrus de Pretio (also Petrus de Prece , Peter von Prezza , Pietro da Prezza , around 1250) was a member of the chancellery of Emperor Frederick II and his sons, as well as an important representative of the Italian ars dictaminis of the 13th century. After the defeat of King Manfred , the son of Frederick II, against Charles of Anjou , he fled the Kingdom of Sicily to Germany. He accompanied King Konradin as protonotary on his journey to Italy. His examples of stylistically outstanding letters are preserved in various collections of the ars dictaminis . For Konradin he wrote a prince's mirror and the defense letter Protestatio Corradini . The best known is his adhortation to the margrave Friedrich von Meißen in the fight against Karl von Anjou.
