In 899, when Arnulf died, Hatto became regent of Germany, and guardian of the young king, Louis the Child, whose authority he compelled Zwentibold, king of Lorraine, an illegitimate son of Arnulf, to recognize.
He retained his influence during the whole of the reign of Louis; and on the king's death in 911 was prominent in securing the election of Conrad, duke of Franconia, to the vacant throne.
This Hatto built the church of St George on the island of Reichenau, was generous to the see of Mainz and to the abbeys of Fulda and Reichenau, and was a patron of the chronicler Regino, abbot of Priim.
The Joyce Hatto hoax story - inevitably now dubbed "Hattogate" in certain parts of the media - has been told many times in newspapers, magazines and journals around the world, as well as being summarised on radio and TV news programmes and discussed all over the Internet.
Whilst there were a number of genuine recordings made by Joyce Hatto in the 1960's and 1970, there appears to be nothing to suggest she played on any of the more recent alleged recordings.
Obviously further research was needed, and we already knew that at least two of the 'Hatto' tracks were not taken from the Simon CD by the listening tests Jed had carried out.
