Otto was Duke of Saxony when his father died in 936, and he was at once elected king (which rule he held until 962) at Aix-la-Chapelle by the great magnates. Otto's great accomplishment was that he supported learning and culture. His support of learning resulted in the so-called Ottonian Renaissance, which helped to keep learning alive for the future.
