What would happen if Otto II died before his time? read up on the history on the papal election in 983, and noticed that there were a malaria outbreak in Rome at that time. What if Otto II had caught the disease and died then? Otto III wasn't even 4 years old at this point in time, and their were several border wars underway and on the horizon ... would Otto III even be coronated or would someone (not quite sure whom) with a claim push for it?
