King Otto l was was German king from 936 and Holy Roman Emperor from <em><u>962</u></em> until his death in <em><u>973</u></em>. He was the oldest son of Henry I the Fowler and Matilda.
Otto inherited the Duchy of Saxony and the kingship of the Germans upon his father's death in 936. He continued his father's work of unifying all German tribes into a single kingdom and greatly expanded the king's powers at the expense of the aristocracy.
