Biography

Berengar II (c. 900 – 4 August 966) was the King of Italy from 950 until his deposition in 961. He was a scion of the Anscarid and Unruoching dynasties, and was named after his maternal grandfather, Berengar I. He succeeded his father as Margrave of Ivrea around 923 (whence he is often known as Berengar of Ivrea), and after 940 led the aristocratic opposition to Kings Hugh and Lothair II. In 950 he succeeded the latter and had his son, Adalbert crowned as his co-ruler. In 952 he recognised the suzerainty of Otto I of Germany, but he later joined a revolt against him. In 960 he invaded the Papal States, and the next year his kingdom was conquered by Otto. Berengar remained at large until his surrender in 964. He died imprisoned in Germany two years later.[1]

Urraca could not have been the child of Berengar as she was born after his death

I would love to help with some of these... for example. I know that there is more information and stories for many of these in places like Wikipedia. I have learned much about these ancestors of mine with the help of Wikipedia.

Dear Cousin,

please, do not use Wikipedia for source materials without verification from an actual reliable source, thank-you.
