| Synopsis: |
Otto III (980-1002) was one of the most powerful rulers in Europe in the late 12th century. He was also one of the most enigmatic. The son of the German emperor Otto II and the Greek princess Theophanu, he came to the throne at the age of three and was only 21 at the time of his own death. Nonetheless, his reign had a lasting impact on both Germany and Italy for generations. This is a biography of this fascinating figure that uses Otto's life to explain how in practice early Medieval kingship worked. At the heart of Otto's short career lay three expeditions to Italy and his efforts to solidify a German "Reich" that controlled the territory on both sides of the Alps. Otto is depicted as a ruler challenged and limited both by his ancestry and by the political customs of his time. |
