Henry II., the Quarrelsome, See also:duke of See also:Bavaria. The first See also:conspiracy was easily suppressed, and in 974 an See also:attempt on the See also:part of Harold III., king of the Danes, to throw off the German yoke was also successfully resisted; but an expedition against the Bohemians led by the king in See also:person in 975 was a partial failure owing to the outbreak of further trouble in Bavaria.

Having crushed an attempt made by Henry to regain Bavaria, Otto was suddenly attacked by See also:Lothair, king of See also:France, who held Aix in his See also:possession for a few days; but when the emperor retaliated by invading France he met with little resistance. He was, however, compelled by ;sickness among his troops to raise the See also:siege of See also:Paris, and on the return See also:journey the rearguard of his See also:army was destroyed and the baggage seized by the See also:French. An expAtlition against the Poles was followed by See also:peace with France, when Lothair renounced his claim on Lorraine. The emperor then prepared for a journey to Italy. In Rome, where he restored Pope See also:Benedict VII., he held a splendid See also:court, attended by princes and nobles from all parts of western See also:Europe. He was next required to punish inroads of the See also:Saracens on the See also:Italian mainland, and in See also:September 981 he marched into See also:Apulia, where he met at first with consider-able success; but an See also:alliance between the See also:Arabs and the Eastern See also:Empire, whose hostility had been provoked by the invasion of Apulia, resulted in a severe defeat on Otto's troops near Stilo in See also:July 982. Without revealing his identity, the emperor escaped on a See also:Greek See also:vessel to See also:Rossano. At a See also:diet held at See also:Verona, largely attended by German and Italian princes, a fresh See also:campaign was arranged against the Saracens.
