Duke Otto becomes an enemy of King …
Years: 1070 - 1070
Duke Otto becomes an enemy of King Henry IV and forfeits his duchy, but his son-in-law Welf remains loyal to the king.
In compliance with Henry's commands, he repudiates and divorces his duchess, Ethelinde, and soon thereafter is rewarded for his fidelity by being appointed Duke of Bavaria in Otto's stead.
This event takes place at Goslar in 1070, when the States of Bavaria submit quietly to the newly made duke, who is the representative of one of the most ancient families in the province.
His repudiation of the duchess, which could be considered an act of injustice, does not seem to have been held against him.
