Peace with the Eastern Emperor, who still claimed Benevento and Capua, which were actually in Lombard hands and whose forces had come to strife with Otto in Bari recently, was Liutprand's recommended course of action. His humiliating and disastrous reception at Constantinople was doubly rankling. (For excerpts of his bitter ''Relatio'' see link below.) ▼ <!-- Liutprand was often entrusted with important diplomacy and in 963 he was sent to [[Pope John XII]] at the beginning of the quarrel between the Pope and the emperor, involving papal allegiance with Berenger's son [[Adalbert of Ivrea\|Adelbert]]. Liutprand attended the Roman conclave of bishops that deposed John XII, [[November 6]], [[963]] and wrote the only connected narrative of the events. ▲He was frequently employed in missions to the [[pope]], and in 968 he was sent again to [[Constantinople]], this time to demand for the younger Otto (afterwards [[Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor\|Otto II]]) the hand of Theophano, daughter of the emperor [[Romanus II]].

His humiliating and disastrous reception at Constantinople was doubly rankling. (For excerpts of his bitter ''Relatio'' see link below.) His account of this embassy in the ''Relatio de Legatione Constantinopolitana'' is perhaps the most graphic and lively piece of writing which has come down to us from the 10th century. The detailed description of [[Constantinople]] and the Byzantine court is a document of rare value, though highly coloured by his ill reception and offended dignity. The ''Catholic Encyclopedia'' asserted "Liutprand's writings are a very important historical source for the tenth century; he is ever a strong partisan and is frequently unfair towards his adversaries."
