His paternal grandparents were Otto the Illustrious of Saxony King of Germany and Hedwige of Germany; his maternal grandparents were Theudebert (Dietrich) von Duke of Saxony and Ludmilla Ragnhildis von Friesland. He had a brother and two sisters, named Henry I the Quarrelsome, Hadwig and Gerberge of Saxony. He died in Memleben.1 General Notes
[SUSANNA KEENE.FTW]
Otto I The Great King of Germany was the first king to become
Holy Roman Emperor. He became King of Germany in 936 and ruled
all of Germany. In 951, he crossed the Alps and declared
himself the king of Italy. He was forced to return to Germany
when the other German princes began a series of revolts. At the
same time the Slavs in Poland and Bohemia revolted, and the
Magyars, or
Hungarians, invaded Germany. Otto crushed the Magyars in the
battle of the Lech River in 955. The Poles and Bohemians were
forced to accept his rule. Otto was able to replace most of the
rebellious German princes with members of his own family. The
young king of Arles, or Burgundy, also had to accept his rule.
Otto then turned his attention toward Italy. He married the
widow of an earlier Italian king, and defeated a rival for the
throne. In 961, Otto crossed the Alps in answer to an appeal
from Pope John XII to put down an uprising in Rome. For this
service, Otto was crowned in 962 emperor of what was later
known as the Holy Roman Empire.[MARSHALL.FTW]
