The establishment of the convent of Gandersheim c.852 is often seen as an origin point for its founding family as well, denoting the Liudolfings’ first use of a memorial centre to build up their power and political influence en route to securing the royal title. Consequently, studies of the origins of Gandersheim are often coloured by the later success of the Ottonian dynasty and the monastery’s role as a royal foundation. This chapter instead sets the early history of Gandersheim and its external relationships firmly in its late-Carolingian context. It uses the contemporary works written for the community of Gandersheim by Agius of Corvey to argue that there was considerable ambiguity around the monastery’s relationship to the Liudolfings after the death of the first abbess, Hathumoda.
852年Gandersheim修道院的建立通常也被视为其创始家族的起源，这表明Liudolfings在确保王室头衔的过程中首次使用纪念中心来建立他们的权力和政治影响力。因此，对甘德斯海姆起源的研究往往受到后来奥斯曼王朝的成功和修道院作为皇家基础的作用的影响。相反，本章将甘德斯海姆的早期历史及其外部关系牢牢地置于加洛林王朝晚期的背景下。它使用Agius of Corvey为Gandersheim社区写的当代作品来论证，在第一位女修道院院长hathudmoda去世后，修道院与Liudolfings的关系相当模糊。

This concluding chapter elucidates the larger points which emerged over the preceding chapters. Memorial centres like Gandersheim and Quedlinburg were able to embody and articulate concepts of identity, dynasty, and legitimacy to a broad audience. In an environment where various members of a new dynasty were trying to assert their claim to royal power, the centres tied to the family of Henry I and Queen Mathilda were positioned at the heart of political conflicts amongst their descendants. The women of Gandersheim and Quedlinburg were not passive figures in these conflicts, but instead carefully deployed new historical texts to shape their relationships with Ottonian rulers and external patrons for their own benefit.
