Note* King of the Germans and Emperor of Rome, son of Otto I and Adelaide, b. 955; d. in Rome, 7 Dec., 983. In 961 he was elected king at Worms, and was crowned at Aix, 26 May. Frail in body, he possessed an intrepid and arbitrary spirit. With him began that extravagant policy of imperialism, which aimed at restoring the world boundaries of the ancients, and to encompass the Ancient Sea (the Mediterranean). Germany and Italy were to wield the balance of power. Reacting against this imperialistic policy was the revived strength of particularism. The conflict with the ducal House of Bavaria gave a dangerous aspect to affairs. In Bavaria (with Otto's approval) the duchess dowager Judith acted as regent for her son Henry. Upon coming of age he was given the Duchy of Bavaria in fee by Otto II, who, at the same time, invested Ludolph's son Otto with Swabia on the death of Duke Burchard, ignoring the latter's widow, Hedwig, a daughter of Judith. Henry, named the "Quarrelsome", supported by Abraham of Friesing, Boleslaw of Bohemia, and Mesislav of Poland, opposed this. The war finally ended by Judith being immured in a cloister and Henry declared to have forfeited his duchy. Ludolph's son Otto received the vacant ducal throne. The Eastmark was separated from Bavaria and given in fee to Luitpold of Babenberg, who laid the foundation of the future renown of his family. In 978 Lothair, who aspired to the acquisition of Western Germany, invaded Lorraine, and pillaged Aix where Otto narrowly escaped capture. But Lothair did not advance further. In Dortmund a war of reprisal was at once decided upon; with 60,000 men, Otto marched upon Paris, which he failed to take. Lothair, however, was obliged to come to terms, and in 980 the two kings met near Sedan, where Otto obtained an agreement securing the former boundaries.

In Rome, Crescentius, a son of Theodora, headed a disorderly factional government and sought to settle the affairs of the Holy See by coercion. Otto crossed the Alps and freed the papacy. While in Rome his mind became imbued with dreams of ancient imperialism; he would give his imperialistic policy a firm foundation by bringing all Italy under subjection. In Southern Italy the Byzantines and Saracens united against the German pretensions, and in 982 the war with these ancient powers commenced. Tarentum fell into the hands of the German king, but 15 July, 982, he was defeated near Capo Colonne, not far from Cotrone. This battle resulted in the surrender of Apulia and Calabria and destroyed the prestige of the imperial authority throughout Italy. The effect spread to the people of the North and the turbulent Slavs on the East, and shortly after the Danes and Wends rose up in arms. But Otto was victorious. The Christian mission, under the leadership of pilgrims of Passau, had made great progress in the territory of the Magyars. Then came the defeat in Calabria, whereupon all of Slavonia, particularly the heathen part, revolted against German sovereignty. The promising beginnings of German and Christian culture east of the Elbe, inaugurated by Otto, were destroyed. In Bohemia the ecclesiastical organization was thorougly established, but the emperor was unable to support the bishop whom he had placed there. On the Havel and the Spree Christianity was almost annihilated. Affairs were in equally bad condition among the Wends. The reign of Otto II has been justly called the period of martyrdom for the German Church. The missions which had been organized by Otto I were, with few exceptions, destroyed. Otto II now renewed the despotic policy towards the Saxonian border nobles and incited open discontent. In 983 he held an Imperial Diet where his son was elected king as Otto III and where the assembled nobles pledged their support. He departed with high hopes for Southern Italy. Fortune seemed to favour the imperial leaders, who expected to wipe out the disgrace suffered in the south. He chose a new pope, Peter of Pavia (John XIV). While in Rome he was stricken with malaria and was buried in St. Peter's. At the time of his death the relations of the empire towards the papacy were still undefined. He had been unable to maintain his political ascendency in Rome. His imperialistic policy had placed the restraints of progressive and pacific Christianity and Germanization on the borders; and he, pursuing fanciful dreams, believed that he might dare to transfer the goal of his policy to the south.

Name Variation Théophanie De Macédoine2 
Birth*956 Europe1 
Marriage*14 April 972 or 14 June 972 Roma, Italy, Principal=Otto II , Holy Roman Emperor1 
Death*15 June 991 Nijmegen, Holland1 
Note* Probably daughter of Leo Phokas son of Sophia Phokas by her husband Constantin Skleros, brother of Marie (1st wife of the Basileus John Tsimices)
She was about fifteen years old when she arrived in Italy to be married to the sixteen-year-old Otto, heir to the Holy Roman Emperor and already King of the Romans. Their marriage had been arranged as part of a peace-treaty between the Eastern and Western Empires. Very little has been recorded about her, except that she was beautiful and loved by her husband. However, although she apparently did not always get on with her mother-in-law, Theophano became a competent Empress in due course, at times acting in his absence as his representative. Yet they did manage to spend most of their lives together, indicating that their marriage had become more than just pre-arranged. This had taken place in Rome on 14 April 972 and, according to tradition, she was crowned by Pope John XIII. In the marriage contract, as a dowry she was given extensive properties in Italy as well as in The Netherlands. Suddenly, on 7 May 973, her father-in-law died and as a result her husband became Emperor Otto II and she his Empress. In 977 their first child, a daughter, was born followed by another daughter almost a year later. In 980 a son and heir, Otto, was born followed by a third daughter. She accompanied her husband in his unsuccessful campaigns against the Saracens in Southern Italy. Having ignored his health, Otto II died in Theophano's arms on 7 December 983 and was buried in Rome's St. Peter's Basilica. Many difficult and unhappy years were now to come for Theophano, deserted in a time of great need by those people once favoured by her husband. Bishop Diederik of Metz, often favoured by Otto II, became her implacable enemy trying to damage her reputation. This he continued to do even after she had died. Her son, Emperor Otto III, was crowned as King on 25 May 983 in Aachen as a first step to being acknowledged as Holy Roman Emperor. Bishop Warin of Cologne, custodian of the little boy, gave him to his great-uncle Heinrich, Duke of Bavaria. However, this Heinrich had only just been released from prison, where he had been locked up because of his opposition to his brother Emperor Otto I and his nephew Emperor Otto II. At first Heinrich pretended that he wanted to act as Regent for the three-year-old Emperor Otto III, but it soon became obvious that he wanted to become Emperor himself. Next he took possession of Theophano's eldest daughter, Adelheid, and in Quedlinburg was accepted as King of the Romans by some of Germany's nobles. However, many more nobles had sworn to protect the young Emperor and so forced Heinrich to promise to return the boy to his mother. Before the kidnapping of her son, Theophano had made arrangements to return to Germany and take upon her the Regency which was justly hers. Her mother-in-law, Dowager Empress Adelaide, remained in Italy as Regent of the Italian kingdom. On 29 June 984, Heinrich was forced to appear at a court at Rohr near Meiningen-im-Grabfeld but refused to hand over the Emperor. In the afternoon of that day an unusual event took place; apparently a bright star appeared in the sky and, impressed by such a supernatural phenomenon, he returned both children to their mother. As a result of the Empress Widow Adelaide having interceded for Heinrich, he was left unpunished, though for some time he still tried to become Emperor. This was until 985 when he was forced to abandon any claims, while at the same time Theophano had forced his supporters to accept her rule. Neither Heinrich nor his supporters were punished when Theophano again refused to take revenge as she, with political insight, realised that this would only extend the unrest in the Empire. While her three daughters were brought up in convents, two would remain there to become Abbesses. Her son remained at her court where she took great care with his education and, as a result, Otto III became one of the best educated amongst the Holy Roman Emperors. Had he not died at twenty-one, he would have made a much larger impact on history. As Regent, Theophano was intelligent and active, thus achieving much more than what others would have done by the sword. There were border skirmishes with Slav tribes as well as with the Frankish kings. She obtained more co-operation from the magnates than did her father-in-law, Otto The Great. As regent she was required to travel a great deal and, due to her capacity of negotation, she ensured a peaceful period for Germany. After a visit to Italy, she returned to Germany in May 990 and from there to Nijmegen, where she died on 15 June 991, probably only thirty-five years of age.1

Misc* The Lusatian Sorbs are the residue of the Slavs of the Elbe who once spread across the Oder and Elbe, inhabiting the whole of the present Germany. During centuries of combat with the Germans their numbers gradually decreased. They are divided into three main groups: the Obotrites who inhabited the present Mecklenburg, Lüneburg, and Holstein whence they extended into the Old Mark; the Lutici or Veltae, who lived between the Oder and Elbe, the Baltic and the Varna; the Sorbs, who lived on the middle course of the Elbe between the Rivers Havel and Bober. The Lutici died out on the Island of Rügen at the beginning of the fifteenth century. In the middle of the sixteenth century there were still large numbers of Slavs in Lüneburg and in the northern part of the Old Mark, while their numbers were less in Mecklenburg and in Brandenburg. However, even in Lüneburg the last Slavs disappeared between 1750-60. Only the Lusatian Sorbs who lived nearer the borders of Bohemia have been able to maintain themselves in declining numbers until the present time. The reason probably is that for some time their territory belonged to Bohemia. At present the Lusatian Sorbs numbers about 150,000 persons on the upper course of the Spree. They are divided into two groups, which differ so decidedly from each other in speech and customs that some regard them as two peoples; they also have two separate literatures. They are rapidly becoming Germanized, especially in Lower Lusatia. The Lusatian Sorbs are Catholics with exception of 15,000 in Upper Lusatia.2

Misc St. Vladimir the Great (VLADIMIR or VOLODOMIR).
Grand Duke of Kieff and All Russia, grandson of St. Olga, and the first Russian ruler to embrace Christianity, b. 956; d. at Berestova, 15 July, 1015. St. Olga could not convert her son and successor, Sviatoslav, for he lived and died a pagan and brought up his son Vladimir as a pagan chieftain. Sviatoslav had two legitimate sons, Yaropolk and Oleg, and a third son, Vladimir, borne him by his court favourite Olga Malusha. Shortly before his death (972) he bestowed the Grand Duchy of Kieff on Yaropolk and gave the land of the Drevlani (now Galicia) to Oleg. The ancient Russian capital of Novgorod threatened rebellion and, as both the princes refused to go thither, Sviatoslav bestowed its sovereignty upon the young Vladimir. Meanwhile war broke out between Yaropolk and Oleg, and the former conquered the Drevlanian territory and dethroned Oleg. When this news reached Vladimir he feared a like fate and fled to the Varangians (Variags) of Scandinavia for help, while Yaropolk conquered Novgorod and united all Russia under his sceptre. A few years later Vladimir returned with a large force and retook Novgorod. Becoming bolder he waged war against his brother towards the south, took the city of Polotzk, slew its prince, Ragvald, and married his daughter Ragnilda, the affianced bride of Yaropolk. Then he pressed on and besieged Kieff. Yaropolk fled to Rodno, but could not hold out there, and was finally slain upon his surrender to the victorious Vladimir; the latter thereupon made himself ruler of Kieff and all Russia in 980. As a heathen prince Vladimir had four wives besides Ragnilda, and by them had ten sons and two daughters. Since the days of St. Olga, Christianity, which was originally established among the eastern Slavs by Sts. Cyril and Methodius, had been making secret progress throughout the land of Russ (now eastern Austria and Russia) and had begun to considerably alter the heathen ideas. It was a period similar to the era of the conversion of Constantine.
Notwithstanding this undercurrent of Christian ideas, Vladimir erected in Kieff many statues and shrines (trebishcha) to the Slavic heathen gods, Perun, Dazhdbog, Simorgl, Mokosh, Stribog, and others. In 981 he subdued the Chervensk cities (now Galicia), in 983 he overcame the wild Yatviags on the shores of the Baltic Sea, in 985 he fought with the Bulgarians on the lower Volga, and in 987 he planned a campaign against the Greco-Roman Empire, in the course of which he became interested in Christianity. The Chronicle of Nestor relates that he sent envoys to the neighbouring countries for information concerning their religions. The envoys reported adversely regarding the Bulgarians who followed (Mohammed), the Jews of Khazar, and the Germans with their plain missionary Latin churches, but they were delighted with the solemn Greek ritual of the Great Church (St. Sophia) of Constantinople, and reminded Vladimir that his grandmother Olga had embraced that Faith. The next year (988) he besieged Kherson in the Crimea, a city within the borders of the eastern Roman Empire, and finally took it by cutting off its water supply. He then sent envoys to Emperor Basil II at Constantinople to ask for his sister Anna in marriage, adding a threat to march on Constantinople in case of refusal. The emperor replied that a Christian might not marry a heathen, but if Vladimir were a Christian prince he would sanction the alliance. To this Vladimir replied that he had already examined the doctrines of the Christians, was inclined towards them, and was ready to be baptized. Basil II sent this sister with a retinue of officials and clergy to Kherson, and there Vladimir was baptized, in the same year, by the Metropolitan Michael and took also the baptismal name of Basil. A current legend relates that Vladimir had been stricken with blindness before the arrival of Anna and her retinue and had recovered his sight upon being baptized. He then married Princess Anna, and thereafter put away his pagan wives. He surrendered the city of Kherson to the Greeks and returned to Kieff in state with his bride. The Russian historian Karamsin (Vol. I, p. 215) suggests that Vladimir could have been baptized long before at Kieff, since Christians and their priests were already there; but such an act would have humbled the proud chieftain in the eyes of his people, for he would have accepted in a lowly manner an inconspicuous rite at the hands of a secret and despised sect. Hence he preferred to have it come from the envoys of the Roman Emperor of Constantinople, as a means of impressing his people.
When Vladimir returned to Kieff he took upon himself the conversion of his subjects. He ordered the statues of the gods to be thrown down, chopped to pieces, and some of them burned; the chief god, Perun, was dragged through the mud and thrown into the River Dnieper. These acts impressed the people with the helplessness of their gods, and when they were told that they should follow Vladimir's example and become Christians they were willingly baptized, even wading into the river that they might the sooner be reached by the priest for baptism. Zubrycki thinks this readiness shows that the doctrines of Christianity had already been secretly spread in Kieff and that the people only waited for an opportunity to publicly acknowledge them. Vladimir urged all his subjects to become Christians, established churches and monasteries not only at Kieff, but at Pereyaslav, Chernigoff, Bielegorod, Vladimir in Volhynia, and many other cities. In 989 he erected the large Church of St. Mary ever Virgin (usually called Desiatinny Sobor, the Cathedral of the Tithes), and in 996 the Church of the Transfiguration, both in the city of Kieff. He gave up his warlike career and devoted himself principally to the government of his people; he established schools, introduced ecclesiastical courts, and became known for his mildness and for his zeal in spreading the Christian faith. His wife died in 1011, having borne him two sons, Boris and Glib (also known a Sts. Roman and David, from their baptismal names). After this his life became troubled by the conduct of his elder children. Following the custom of his ancestors, he had parcelled out his kingdom amongst his children, giving the city of Novgorod in fief to his eldest son Yaroslav; the latter rebelled against him and refused to render either service or tribute. In 1014 Vladimir prepared to march north to Novgorod and take it away from his disobedient son, while Yaroslav invoked the help of the Varangians against his father. Vladimir fell ill and died on the way. His feast in celebrated on 15 July in the Russian Orthodox and Ruthenian Greek Catholic calendars, and he has received the name of Ravnoapostol (equal to the Apostles) in the title of the feast and the troparion of the liturgy. The Russians have added in their service books words referring his conversion and intercession to the present Russian Empire (rossiiskaya zemlya), but the Ruthenians have never permitted these interpolations.

Name Variation St. Vladimir the Great Grand Prince of Kiev3 
Nickname 'The Great' (?)1 
Birth*say 960 Kiev, Ukraine1 
Marriage*circa 977 Vitsyebskaya, Belarus, Principal=Rogneda od Polotsk, Princess of Polotsk1 
Death*15 July 1015 Kiev, Ukraine1 
Note When his father was killed in 972 he was a contender for the rule of Kiev, together with his elder two brothers. Yarapolk, the eldest brother already established in Kiev, disposed of Oleg the other brother and forced Vladimir to flee the country. Vladimir went from Novgorod to Scandinavia, from where he returned with an army of Varangians, attacked and killed Yaropolk and in doing so became the sole ruler of Rus. In his early years as a ruler he was brutal, bloodthirsty and dissolute. By his first wife, Rogneda of Polotzk, he had four sons and two daughters; by a Greek woman he fathered one son; by a Czech woman one son; two more sons by a different mother; and by a Bulgarian woman two more sons. Apparently he had three hundred concubines at Vyshegorod, three hundred at Belgorod, and two hundred at Berestovo. He had married women brought to him and as well deflowered virgins. At the beginning of his long reign he continued attacking the Byzantine Empire. However, he soon realised that it was better to be on good terms with his neighbours and adopted Christianity for himself and his people. This happened around 988 when he also took as his third wife the sister of the Byzantine Emperor. However, the Pechenegs continued to harass him and he had to fight them continually until the end of his reign. After his conversion Vladimir became a changed man; he became mild towards criminals, generous to the poor and supported the Greek missionaries. This resulted in a picture of him that caused later generations to look on St. Vladimir and his grandmother, St. Olga, as the first-born of the new Christian people of Russia and her borderland. They were esteemed to be saints and Vladimir became the subject of a cycle of folklore and heroic poems.4 
Burial* Church of the Tithes, Kiev, Kiev, Ukraine1 
Note* Vladimir was a semi-barbaric Viking tribal chief of great leadership abilities; conquered and then was first ruler of a unified Russia; was baptised at Kherson in the Crimea in 988 and 'converted' his subjects to Christianity, and formed many alliances (many sealed with marriages of his children) with the other leaders of Europe. His father sent him to govern Novgorod in 970 despite his youth. He became Grand Duke, i.e. leader of his people, by killing his brother Yaropolk, uniting Novgorod and Kiev. After becoming a Christian, Vladimir built churches, promoted charity, established Orthodox canon law and married Princess Anna, sister of Byzantine Emperor Basil II and daughter of Romanus II (Emperor 959-63) and his second wife Theophano. 'From the reign of Svyatoslav's youngest son, Vladimir, the Norman dynasty was definitely settled in Kiev.' His feast day is July 15th.5
