In 950 the newly-married Lothair died; he may have been murdered by Berengarius, who succeeded him and who tried to force Adelaide to marry his son. She refused and was imprisoned, but when Otto the Great of Germany invaded Berengarius's territory he freed this royal prisoner and took her back to Pavia with him, where they married in 951. For the next 20 years Adelaid faced enmity and opposition from her husband's family. Otto II, son of Otto and Adelaide, succeeded his father, but his Greek wife Theophano disliked her mother-in-law intensely and managed to turn Otto against her. She found ammunition for her attack in Adelaide's habits of unstinting giving to the poor, and this became the basis of heated quarrels between mother and son. Adelaide was obliged to retire from court and live for some time with a brother in Burgundy until Abbot Majolus of Cluny stepped in to heal the breach, when she returned to court. The reconciliation lasted only until Otto's death in 983; he was succeeded by his infant son Otto III and Theophano, acting as regent, once again forced Adelaide from the court. When Theophano herself died in 991 the venerable Adelaide returned once more, to be invested with the power of regent. She used her new authority to found and restore monasteries in the area, and was much concerned with evangelizing the Slavs. She was a generous and likeable woman, who sought the advice of holy ment throughout her difficult life, and she won the admiration and respect of her people. She died at Seltz in Alsace, in the convent which she had founded there. Her feast day is December 16.
