Otto I
(redirected from Otto the Great)

Otto I (912–973)

Holy Roman Emperor from 962. He restored the power of the empire and asserted his authority over the pope and the nobles. His son, Liudolf, led a German rebellion allied with the Magyars, but Otto drew them from the siege of Augsburg (Bavaria) and ended the Magyar menace by his victory at Lechfeld in 955. He refounded the East Mark, or Austria, as a barrier against them.

As a result of Lechfeld the pope granted Otto the title of Holy Roman Emperor. Otto made gains to the east, subjecting the Bohemians and defeating the Wends.

Otto I (1815–1867)

King of Greece. The son of Ludwig I, King of Bavaria, he was invited to become king of Greece in 1833. His rule was never very stable: a revolution in 1843 resulted in the granting by Otto of a constitution, but in 1862 a further revolution led to his abdication, and he went into exile in Bavaria, where he died.
