Ottonian dynasty - Overflow

Tossup

A ruler of this dynasty legendarily discovered the Coronation Gospels in a tomb where a ghost cursed him to die without any heirs. The first ruler of this dynasty briefly married the then-nun Hatheburg of Merseburg, causing their son Thankmar to be of questionable legitimacy, before remarrying the (10[1])queen (10[1])St. Matilda. The Liber Tertius recounting the rise of this dynasty was written by its contemporary Hrotvistha of Gandersheim. A ruler of this dynasty shared power with his canonized wife Adelaide of Italy. The East Francian king Henry the Fowler (10[1])fathered the namesake of this dynasty, who defeated the Magyars at the 955 Battle of Lechfeld and revived a title first given (10[1])to Charlemagne. For 10 points, name this first German dynasty to rule the Holy Roman Empire. ■END■ (0[2])
