As was the case with his father, Otto II, a suitable bride was sought for him among the Byzantine imperial family. It was arranged that he would wed the Byzantine princess Zoe (b. c978), the daughter of Emperor Constantine VIII. In 1002, the young woman was sent to Italy where the wedding would take place but, before she arrived, Otto died at Ravenna, the victim of either malaria or poison. Robert S.
