Historians disagree on whether this text is what was written in the lost original; also on the wider issue whether the idea of the Kingdom as German, rather than Frankish, dates from the tenth or the eleventh century; but the idea of the kingdom as "German" is firmly established by the end of the eleventh century.
Ajaloolased vaidlevad selle üle, kas see tekst on see, mis kirjutati kadunud originaalis; laiem küsimus on, kas Saksa, mitte Frangi, kuningriigi idee dateerub 10. või 11. sajandist; kuid "Saksa" kuningriigi idee kujunes kindlalt välja 11. sajandi lõpul.
