		The circumstance of Otto being crowned by the Pope of Rome would be very important to later generations of polemicists embroiled in controversies about the correct relationship of the distinct spiritual and temporal powers in one overarching societas Christiana.
		For it was Otto the Great who would rescue the Roman Papacy from its decades-long, quite debilitating and demoralizing captivity to various secular powers--a captivity which had culminated in the horrendously scandalous period of time known to later historians as "the Pornocracy".
		And it was also Otto the Great whose rescuing and reforming actions toward the Papacy would not many decades hence become bitterly contested principles in the great Investiture Contest of the late eleventh and early twelfth centuries.
