ALBERT OF STADE. - German religious writer and chronicler of the 13th century. Made abbot of the Benedictine monastery of St. Mary of Stade in 1232, he tried in vain to introduce the Cistercian rule there. Having then passed to the Order of the Friars Minor, he was elected general there.
His most important work, besides a commentary on the Gospels, which has not come down to us, and a moralizing poem on a classical subject, Trollus, in 5320 verses (ed. T. Merzdorf, Leipzig 1875), is a Chronicle from the creation of the world to the fall of the Hohenstaufen (MGH, Scripto, XVI, pp. 283-379). Of particular interest is the chronicle of the last hundred years: in his depiction of the harsh struggles between the Empire and the Papacy he seeks to remain impartial, although he is clearly on the side of the latter.
