Otto I
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.
