Years: 995 - 995
Germany had suffered an outbreak of famine and pestilence in 993.
In 994 and 995, Otto III has led fruitless campaigns against the northern Slavs and the Vikings, but he had successfully reconquered Brandenburg in 993, and in 995 he subdues the Obotrite Slavs.
After Otto III reaches his majority in the autumn of 995, he again takes to the field against the Lutici, this time aided by the Polish Duke Boleslaw I Chrobry.
