Otto III

Roman Empire. In 996, While Otto III, ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, was in Rome, Boleslaw conquered numerous rebellious Slav Tribes, increasing his territory. As a way to form a larger state & lessen the hatred against Christian Poland, Boleslaw decided to convert the tribes to Christianity. In 996, Adalbert, a former monk and bishop of Prague and Italy, was sent by Poland to convert tribes. Adalbert was acquainted with Otto III through the Monastery of Saints Boniface and Alexis, and was present in Otto III’s coronation as ruler of the Holy Roman Empire.
