I was curious if there was any substance to the claim made my a Polish
author (T. Manteuffel) who claims that the Emperor Otto III and St
Adalbert of Prague were related. Maybe someone on this group has an
answer?-AM
Hello,
Check out my site on St Adalbert/St. Wojciech (956-997) at:
http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/polcrt/Wojciech.html
Otto III (980-1002)( made a pilgrimage to St. Adalbert's burial site. That
is for sure. Otto III is said to be a descendant of Charlesmagne.
Otto III links:

They might both go back to Charlesmagne?
