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.
