A conspiracy has meanwhile arisen in Bavaria.
The conspirators—Henry I, Bishop of Augsburg; the recently deposed Duke Henry II; and Henry I, Duke of Carinthia—even have the support of the Church.
Otto, allied with Otto I, Duke of Swabia and Bavaria, marches first on Passau, held by the rebels.
The town surrenders in September due to his siege tactics, which include a bridge of boats.
