		OTTO I. - LoveToKnow Article on OTTO I. (912-973), surnamed the Great, Roman emperor, eldest son of King Henry I. the Fowler by his second wife Matilda, said to be a descendant of the Saxon hero Widukind, was born on the 23rd of November 912.
		Otto soon showed his intention of breaking with the policy of his father, who had been content with a nominal superiority over the duchies; in 937 he punished Eberhard, duke of Franconia, for an alleged infringement of the royal authority; and in 938 deposed Eberhard, who had recently become duke of Bavaria.
		Otto gained a victory near Xanten, which was followed by the surrender of the fortresses held by his brothers adherents in Saxony, but the rebels, joined by Eberhard of Franconia and Archbishop Frederick of Mainz continued the struggle, and Giselbert of Lorraine transferred his allegiance to Louis IV., king of France.

	OTTO IV. - LoveToKnow Article on OTTO IV. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Otto, who is sometimes called the Red, was a man of small stature, by nature brave and impulsive, and by training an accomplished knight.
		The mystic erratic temperament of Otto, alternating between the most magnificent scheires of empire, and the lowest depths of self-debasement, was not conducive to the welfare of his dominions, and during his reign the conditions of Germany deteriorated.
		This support was purchased by a capitulation signed by Otto at Neuss, which ratified the independence and decided the boundaries of the States of the Church, and was the first authentic basis for the practical authority of the pope in central Italy.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Otto IV
		Otto and his followers hoped that Pope Innocent III, who was hostile to the Hohenstaufens, would espouse Otto's cause in the contest for the German throne.
		Otto had made the broadest concessions to the Holy See, wishing "to become King of the Romans through the favour of God and the pope".
		Otto's next step was to take as his wife the daughter of his murdered enemy, which was an added incentive to the Hohenstaufens to yield themselves to his sway.

		Otto of Brunswick had been crowned Holy Roman Emperor by pope Innocent III in 1209; Frederick had been elected king of Germany by a rebellious faction who had the backing of Innocent III in 1211 at the Diet of Nuremberg after Otto had fallen into disfavor with the pope who excommunicated him.

		Odds are bloodlines would probably not be enough to prevent Otto III and/or IV from inheriting if they were sufficiently 'civilized' in demeanor and came in with the blessing of a respected emperor (Karl I was an unlettered boor and his would-be bride/co-reginant Irene was widely hated).
		Otto, either of them, is going to get more than a few ideas from the centralized Romaioi administration in Constantinople, and the native Dukes would not be happy (to say nothing of the effective distances involved, and no Baselius worth the name would remove the main court from The City).
