From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Otto II (d. 1047) was Count Palatine of Lotharingia (1034–1045), Duke of Swabia (1045–1047), Count in Deutz and Auelgau (1025-1047), and protector of Brauweiler. He was the son of Ezzo and Matilda, a daughter of Emperor Otto II. He was a member of the Ezzonian dynasty.
In 1034, Ezzo, Count Palatine of Lotharingia, died. As Otto's older brother Ludolf had died in 1031, he succeeded his father to that position. On 7 April 1045, Henry III, King of Germany and also Duke of Swabia (as Henry I) offered the latter title to Otto. In exchange, Otto gave up the Count Palatine, which was given to his cousin Henry I. Also, his territories in Kaiserswerth and Duisburg went back to the crown.
He probably married Mathilde of Poland (von Egisheim), daughter of Boleslaw I "Chrobny" ("the Brave"), King of Poland and Oda of Meissen. He had only one daughter, Richenza von Egisheim-Werl (born about 1020 in West Friesland, Holland, died 1083). She married (1st) count Hermann von Werl and (2nd) count Otto II von Rittegau von Nordheim-Bayern.
In 1047 Otto died unexpected at his castle, the Tomburg, while preparing an imperial campaign against an invasion of the count of Flanders. He is buried in Brauweiler Abbey. In 1048 the Emperor selected Otto III to succeed him as Duke of Swabia.
