  • December 961: Subsequently, Berengario implemented an aggressive policy towards the Papacy which prompted John XII to ask Otto to go down to Italy. In 961 the king of Germany arrived in Italy for the second time. Berengario's troops refused to fight, forcing father and son to barricade themselves at the fortress of San Leo. Otto formally deposed them from the royal title and had himself crowned Emperor by John XII.
