Self nominated at 09:03, 14 March 2014 (UTC). :* 16px This article is new enough and long enough. The hook is sourced to a book and accepted in good faith. The QPQ has been done and I detected no policy issues. For 13th April, please.

A published work like that would have been checked for accuracy before being published. Yes, it is uncertain if it did happen like that (hence reportedly, not claiming it as it definitely did) but there is nothing to suggest it was "made up". I have added another source which supports it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 10:51, 7 April 2014 (UTC) ::*I've done a bit of rewording in the article: the two sources are clear that this is "probably apocryphal" or an "old legend", so it has to be treated as such; "reportedly" makes it sound far more definite than it is. (Did Louis visit Theodulf at the monastery, was he visiting the monastery for other reasons and hear Theodulf, or was he in a procession that went past the monastery and overheard Theodulf singing inside? The sources don't even agree on that.) I have a problem with the word "played", since this would have been Theodulf's words sung to a melody (could have been pre-existing or new). Suggesting an ALT hook to cover the issues raised: :::*ALT1: :::It's 189 characters, so not too long. Maybe it could be trimmed further? BlueMoonset (talk) 14:04, 7 April 2014 (UTC) :::*Forgot to strike the original hook due to the issues raised. BlueMoonset (talk) 14:16, 7 April 2014 (UTC) ::ALT2: ... that legend holds that Holy Roman Emperor Louis the Pious, on hearing Theodulf of Orléans sing "All Glory, Laud and Honour", released Theodulf from exile and ordered the hymn sung every Palm Sunday? : However, [https://books.google.com/books?id=e3DYAAAAMAAJ&pg=PA986] (p. 986, bottom right column) doesn't mention the must-sing bit (and is pretty convincing that the whole thing is decidedly false, but again, "legend" handles that I guess). I'll leave it to y'all to determine if that's part of the established legend, or some additional color someone threw in more recently; if the latter I think it should stay out. EEng (talk) 14:46, 7 April 2014 (UTC) :*16px I'll risk giving this another tick! It is now sourced both to a book and also to an online source and I think ALT2 is fine.

... that reportedly upon hearing "All Glory, Laud and Honour", the Holy Roman Emperor ordered that its author be released from house arrest and that the hymn be played every Palm Sunday?
... that according to legend, when the Holy Roman Emperor first heard "All Glory, Laud and Honour", he released its author from house arrest and ordered that the hymn be sung every Palm Sunday?
