Eido I
Eido I, also Ido, Eid or Ägidius (955 – 20 December 1015), was the bishop of Meissen from 992 to 1015. Life Eido, thought to have been a member of the noble von Colditz family, belonged to the cathedral chapter of Magdeburg. His appointment as bishop of Meissen in 992 was on the recommendation of Giselher, Archbishop of Magdeburg. Among the major events of his period of office was the dispute over the restoration of the bishopric of Merseburg, which had been abolished in 981 by the efforts of Giselher, and of its territories to the east of the Mulde which had fallen to the bishopric of Meissen. Eido was successful in retaining those territories for Meissen even after the restoration of the bishopric of Merseburg in 1004. Although measures had been taken in the court of Otto III to readjust the boundaries, they remained without effect. Bishop Thietmar of Merseburg, appointed in 1009, reported in Book 7 of his ''Chronicle'' that Eido died on 20 December 1015 while travel ...

Otto III, Holy Roman Emperor
Otto III (June/July 980 – 23 January 1002) was Holy Roman Emperor from 996 until his death in 1002. A member of the Ottonian dynasty, Otto III was the only son of the Emperor Otto II and his wife Theophanu. Otto III was crowned as King of Germany in 983 at the age of three, shortly after his father's death in Southern Italy while campaigning against the Byzantine Empire and the Emirate of Sicily. Though the nominal ruler of Germany, Otto III's minor status ensured his various regents held power over the Empire. His cousin Henry II, Duke of Bavaria, initially claimed regency over the young king and attempted to seize the throne for himself in 984. When his rebellion failed to gain the support of Germany's aristocracy, Henry II was forced to abandon his claims to the throne and to allow Otto III's mother Theophanu to serve as regent until her death in 991. Otto III was then still a child, so his grandmother, Adelaide of Italy, served as regent until 994. In 996, Otto III ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
