…Otto withdraws to the monastery of St. Apollinaris, near Ravenna, to do penance.

Unable to regain control of the imperial city, he requests military support from his third cousin Henry of Bavaria.

While in Ravenna, Otto III receives ambassadors from Duke Boleslaw I of Poland and approves the plans of King Stephen of Hungary to establish the Archdiocese of Esztergom in order to convert Hungary to Christianity.

Otto III also strengthens relations with the Venetian Doge, Pietro II Orseolo.

Since 996, the Emperor had been godfather to Pietro II's son, Otto Orseolo, and in 1001 the Emperor arranges for Pietro II's daughter to be baptized.
