Is anybody who can Answer me-did Otto III,Holy Roman Emperor,ever been
married? Thank you.
Otto III never married. As was the case with his father, Otto II, a
suitable bride was sought for him among the Byzantine imperial family.
It was arranged that he would wed the Byzantine princess Zoe (b.
c978), the daughter of Emperor Constantine VIII. In 1002, the young
woman was sent to Italy where the wedding would take place but, before
she arrived, Otto died at Ravenna, the victim of either malaria or
poison.
