After the death (950) of her first husband, King Lothair of Italy, she was about to be forced into a marriage with the son of Berengar II , Lothair's successor. She appealed to Otto I , who rescued and married her in 951. After living in Lombardy (985-991), she returned to Germany to serve as sole regent for her grandson, Otto III , from 991 to 994. She was also known as a great benefactor of religious houses.
