Correct answer: D. Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum
- Step 1: The Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum (The Conversion of the Bavarians and Carantanians) was written by the Salzburg archdiocese to prove its historical missionary jurisdiction over Carantania and Pannonia against the Methodian Slavic mission. Answer: Conversio Bagoariorum et Carantanorum. Why not the others: De Administrando Imperio covers Byzantine Balkan geopolitics, Gesta Danorum is a Danish medieval history, and Annales Regni Francorum contains Frankish imperial annals.
