Annals of Stade, by Albert of Stade

A world chronicle written at Stade in the 1240s from older Stade and Bremen annals. For 1200 it has short notices on Archbishop Hartwig II of Bremen, the counts of Stade, Count Adolf of Holstein and the Danish king, and the throne war in Saxony. Secondhand for 1200, but it preserves local Bremen material not found elsewhere.
