Lothair Ii Of Italy




Lothar's power in Italy was nominal. From the time of his successful uprising of the nobles in 945, Berengar Of Ivrea , kept all real power and patronage in his hands. Lothar was perhaps poisoned by Berengar, who attempted to cement his usurped political power in Lombardy by forcing Lothar's widow to marry his son. Instead she entreated the protection of Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor , whom she married.

Lothar figures briefly in the '' Vita '' of Adelaide written by Hroswitha Of Gandersheim .
