Notes par Otto II "called the Red Earl" von Sachsen Kaiser des Heiligen Römischen Reiches

Name Suffix: Holy Roman Emperor

Tysk-romersk keiser 973 - 983.
Otto ble valgt som etterfølger etter sin far, Otto ?den Store?, etter at hans far døde i
973. Broren Ludolf hadde avgått ved døden før faren. Otto var bare atten år ved sin
tronbestigelse, men hadde i flere år fått prøve sine krefter på krevende oppgaver i statens
tjeneste. Under farens lange fravær i Italia hadde han deltatt i regjeringen hjemme i Tyskland
og hadde allerede da gitt bevis på sin rike begavelse, som imidlertid later til å ha vært parret
med en altfor sterk selvfølelse. I motsetning til sin far var han liten og spinkel og savnet farens
majestetiske ro og likevekt i motgangens dager, men han hadde den samme intense iver og
ukuelige energi.
Både innad og utad fortsatte Otto sin fars politikk og forsvarte Tysklands grenser mot
alle angrep både fra slavere og nordboere. Han kjempet mot Harald Blåtann og trengte langt
opp i Jylland. Resultatet ble opprettelsen av den ?Danske Mark? i 974 mellom Eider og Sil,
som han dog mistet ved sin død. Samtidig kjempet han mot sin fetter, Henrik av Bayern, og
overvant ham i 976. Senere kjempet han mot kong Lothar av Frankrike som ville ha
Lothringen.
Ved sin tilnærmelse til det østromerske rike hadde hans far skapt et grunnlag for en
felles innsats fra hele kristenhetens side mot sarasenerne. Med flammende stridslyst vendte nå
hans egen sønn sine våpen mot disse kristenhetens fiender for å få en slutt på deres herjinger i
Italia. Han beseiret dem i et slag ved Tarantobukten i nærheten av Cotrone i Calabria i 982.
Men i seiersrusen glemte tyskerne alle forsiktighetsregler, med den følge at de plutselig ble
overrumplet av store arabiske troppestyrker, som kastet seg over dem. Ottos hær ble revet
fullstendig opp, og bare med nød og neppe unnkom han selv og noen få andre. Tvers
gjennom fiendens rekker banet han seg vei på sin stridshingst, red ned til stranden og langt ut i
sjøen og reddet seg til slutt ved å svømme ut til et gresk skip som førte ham til en havn lenger
nord i landet.
Tyskernes strid med araberne i Syd-Italia minner på mange måter om romernes kamper
med kartagerne nettopp i de samme traktene. Den tyske historikeren Leopold von Ranke
kaller da også Ottos nederlag i Calabria for et germansk Cannae. Så hadde altså tyskerne, som
alle hadde betraktet som uovervinnelige, likevel lidt et knusende nederlag. Det var en nyhet
som fikk kammen til å svulme på alle de som hittil hadde vært så underdanige ogg ydmyke.
Italienerne tillot seg en hånlig og overlegen tone overfor keiserens menn, og dansker og
slavere falt igjen inn i de tyske grenselandene og herjet og plyndret. Ottos energi fornektet seg
imidlertid ikke, den vokste med vanskelighetene. Han begynte å samle en ny hær men innen
han fikk tatt den i bruk, ble han brått revet bort av døden i Roma i 983. Bare 28 år gammel
hadde han bukket under for alle de sorger og bekymringer han hadde å slite med, og tapet
følges dobbelt tungt for folket, fordi han bare etterlot seg en liten sønn på tre år, Otto III.

Otto II (b. 955--d. Dec. 7, 983, Rome), German king from 961 and HolyRoman emperor from 967, sole ruler from 973, son of Otto I and his second wife, Adelaide.
Otto continued his father's policies of promoting a strong monarchy in Germany and of extending the influence of his house in Italy. In 961 he was crowned co-regent king of Italy and Germany with his father and was made co-regent emperor in 967. On April 14, 972, he married the Byzantine princess Theophano. At his father's death in 973 he was accepted without opposition as successor, although revolts in the duchyof Bavaria and in Lorraine occupied the early years of his reign. Bavaria, the most independent of the duchies, rebelled in 974, under the leadership of its duke, Henry II the Quarrelsome, Otto's cousin. It was not until 978 that Bavaria was pacified, the same year that Lothair, king of France, invaded Lorraine. In 979 Otto received the submission of Bohemia and Poland, and in 980 Lothair renounced his claim to Lorraine. Having thus secured his German dominions, Otto marched into Italy in 980, where German rule had been maintained by an imperial partyheaded by Hugh, marquis of Tuscany. Otto invaded southern Italy and was decisively defeated there by the Arabs in 982. In 983 he summoned adiet at Verona, where his young son, Otto III, was crowned German king. Otto II died in 983 while attempting to bring Venice under imperialcontrol. His absence from Germany had occasioned revolts along its borders, and after his defeat in Calabria in 982 the German position east of the Elbe collapsed because of a revolt by the Danes and an invasion by the Slavs. Nonetheless, Otto left a firmly established realm tohis son and successor Otto III

Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto IIOtto II (955 – December 7, 983, Rome), called the Red, was the third ruler of the Saxon or Ottonian dynasty, the son of Otto the Great and Adelaide of Italy. At first only co-reigning with his father, he was the king of Germany and king of Italy from 961 and Holy Roman Emperor from 967.

He married Theophanu, niece of the Eastern Roman Emperor John I Tzimisces, on April 14, 972. Upon his father's death in 973, he was accepted as Holy Roman Emperor without opposition.

Otto spent his reign continuing his father's policy of strengthening imperial rule in Germany and extending it deeper into Italy. Henry II of Bavaria revolted in 974 and was not pacified until 978, in the so-called War of the Three Henries. The next year, Otto received the submission of both Bohemia and Poland. Also in that year, Lothair, king of France, invaded Lorraine, to which Otto renounced his claim in 980. With Germany secure, Otto invaded Italy that year, but was repulsed by the Arabs in 982 at the Battle of Stilo. The next summer, he called a diet at Verona to confirm his son, Otto III, as king of Germany. He died later that year while campaigning against Venice. While he was in Italy, a Slavic invasion pushed the Germans west of the Elbe, but the realm was fairly strong at his death.

RESEARCH NOTES:
Holy Roman Emperor

Otto II (født 955, død 7. desember 983, i Roma), var den tredje tyske herskeren av den Sachsiske eller Ottonske dynastiet. Han blev tysk-romersk konge år 961 (regjerte sammen med sin far) og tysk-romersk keiser år 967 (også sammen med sin far). Han var sønn av tysk-romerske keiseren Otto I og Adelheid av Italia. Otto II giftet seg 14. april 972 med Theofano av Bysans, datter til Romanos II av Bysans.

Han prøvde å sikre statsmakten gjennom å slå ned opprør av tyske fyrster og av Harald Blåtann i Danmark. Han led nederlag i 982 ved Capo Colonne i Italia mot araberne.

He was Emperor from 967 to 903. He defeated the Saracens in Italy in 982.

He was Emperor from 967 to 903. He defeated the Saracens in Italy in 982.

BIOGRAPHY
Otto was the son of Emperor Otto I 'the Great' and Aelis of Burgundy. On 14 April 972 he married Theophano Skleraina in Rome. When he became emperor, he demanded all the Byzantine possessions in Italy as part of his wife's dowry. His demands were naturally refused, and war began again. In 981 Otto descended into Apulia, his wrath mainly directed against the Saracens. In Constantinople the Emperor Basil saw his chance: of the two evils, Otto represented by far the greater long-term danger. Messengers sped to the Saracen leader and a temporary alliance was hastily arranged. As a result, after initial successes, Otto was soundly defeated near Stilo in Calabria; only an ignominious flight in disguise saved him from capture. He never recovered from the humiliation and died in Rome the following year, aged twenty-eight. Otto is the only German emperor to be buried in Rome. His tomb can still be seen in the Grotte Vaticane---minus its porphyry cover; having originally been removed from the Mausoleum of Hadrian, it now serves as the font of St.Peter's.
