Years: 938 - 938
Eberhard, infuriated with Otto's actions over the disposition of Meresburg, in 938 joins Otto's half-brother Thankmar, Count Wichmann, and Archbishop Frederick of Mainz in rebellion against the King.
They besiege Warstein in the Arnsberg Forest and free Otto's brother, Henry, from imprisonment here.
Duke Herman I of Swabia, one of Otto's closest advisors, warns him of the rebellion and the King moves quickly to put down the revolt.
Wichmann is soon reconciled with Otto and joins the King's forces against his former compatriots.
