to strengthen the claims, he had a new "vita" written of saint boniface, on whose orders fulda abbey had been built in 744, and engaged otloh of sankt emmeram to write it. in regensburg, otloh had managed to pick up a copy of the so-called karlsruhe codex of the boniface correspondence, which egbert had ordered and sent to pope leo ix (leo was interested in rewriting the saint's "vita" but died before he had the chance). the exemption for fulda was again confirmed by henry iii in 1056.
