And in the same year, Emperor Otto of Rome went to Greece, and there he encountered a great army of Saracens who had come up from the sea, and intended to then go make war against the Christian people; and so the emperor then fought against them. There was great slaughter on each side, and the emperor took control of the battlefield. Nevertheless, he was very fatigued, and so thence turned around and traveled towards home. He was the son of Prince Leodulf, and Leodulf was son of the elder Otto, and the son of King Edward's daughter. Declension Saracene Saracene Saracena Saracenum Further reading Saracene 26417
