A history of all nations from the earliest times; being a universal historical library . kes pains to remark that Otto was placed byhis father over his brothers and the whole Frankish realm. l*erhapsQueen Matihla had proposed a division in the interest of her favoriteson, Henry, who had been born while his father was king. Subsequentevents give one ground for at least suspecting that the royal family wasnot in harmony on this point. From Erfurt, Henry had himselfcarried to tlu^ ])alace of Memleben. There he died, on July 2, 98(), atthe age of al)out sixty. He gave orders that he should be buried inthe centre of Saxony, and in the heart of the estates of the Ludolfings,at Quedlinburg, in the cathedral of St. Peter (Fig. 59). CHAPTER XI. OTTO THE GREAT. ( 936-973.) AFTER the death of Henry I., his son Otto I., known to historyas the Great, was acknowledged king by the nobles, andsolemnly crowned and anointed at Aix-la-Chapelle (Figs. 61, 62).The character of Otto appears in the pages of contemporary annal-ists and panegyrists shrouded in the dim twilight which surrounds.
