After subduing an uprising of nobles incited by his brother, Otto consolidated his kingdom by granting duchies to faithful relatives and followers. In 951 he marched to Italy to assist Adelaide, the widowed queen of Lombardy, against Berengar II, who had usurped the kingdom. Otto defeated Berengar and married Adelaide, thereby becoming ruler of northern Italy. Whe he returned to Germany, he again crushed a rebellion of nobles led by his son Liudolf and halted a Hungarian invasion in 955. In 962 he was crowned Holy Roman emperor. In 963 he deposed Pope John XII and had Leo VIII elected in his stead. Otto sought to make the church subordinate to the authority of the empire but assisted in spreading Christianity throughout his domain. He negotiated unsuccessfully with the Byzantine emperor Nicephorus II Phocas for an alliance between the Byzantine and Holy Roman empires, but was able to arrange a marriage between his son Otto II and Theophano. [Funk & Wagnalls] FOSTER, BURR, MINOR, NEWLIN LINES - 30th ggrandfather !Upon his father Henry's foundations, Otto was able to raise the German monarchy to one of its greatest peaks. In this he was aided by a happy combination of circumstances. To the east he unleashed a series of campaigns against the pagan Slavs between the Elbe and the Oder, who were also being menaced from the nascent ducy of Poland under Mieszko I; that helped to provide territory and manpower with which he might bind men to him. To the west he was favored by the intermittent conflicts between the Carolingians and Robertians which made it unappealing for the dukes of Lotharingia to throw off his rule for they could expect little help from France if they did so. Within Germany marriages of his relatives into the ducal families secured their accession to Swabia and Bavaria, while Lotharingia was bestowed on a son-in-law. To the south the turbulent poltics of Italy provided a fruitful sphere in which to intervene, bringing Otto the crown of Italy in 951, the imperial crown in 962, and a rich harvest of relics with which he could endow the great eastern bishoprics and monasteries. By appointing bishops to sees well distant from their native parts he helped to create alternative sources of support should their neighbors prove restive and was at the same time able to impose military obligations on the Church to defent the eastern frontier and provide troops for more distant expeditions. Despite these opportunities and achievements he also faced periods of very great danger. His stepbrother and younger brother regarded themselves as alternative candidates for the throne and in turn revolted; so too did other dukes, including his son, Duke Liudolf of Swabia, when he feared that Otto's marriage to Adelaide of Italy would preclude him from the succession. What set the seal upon Otto's achievements was fortune; at the time of the most serious of the revolts, Liudolf's, fresh Magyar hosts burst upon the scene. King and rebels united againt this threat and at the Lechfeld, near Augsburg, gained one of the most decisive battles in the course of history (955). [The Oxford History of Medieval Europe] !Rebellions of dukes of Bavaria, Franconia, and Lotharingia subdued. Victories over the Hungarians; the East Mark, called later Austria, set up. (A mark or march, was a frontier district set up for defensive purposes.)

[Leaders & Landmarks, Vol. II, p. 34] !When Otto I returned from Italy to Germany in 972/3, Haralod Bluetooth was one of a number of monarchs who did him homage at Quedlinburg. A few months later Otto was dead, and Harald wasted no time in testing the mettle of his successor Otto II by some raids on Holstein.

He conquered the realm, dethrones Berenger II and sent him to end his days in a German prison. Otho was crowned sovereign with the title of emperor. Thus Italy, after having been annexed as a subjugated kingdom to Greece, and then to France, was now grasped by Germany. For half a century the three Othos, father, son, and grandson, were acknowledged emperors and kings of Italy.
