What was Henry's policy as compared to his predecessor, Otto III?

  • Focused on the empire's territories north of the Alps

  • Increased political involvement in Italy

  • More militaristic

  • Less involved with the Church

Answer

Unlike Otto III, Henry III focused on the empire's territories north of the Alps. This was likely due to the fact that Otto III had spent much of his reign campaigning in Italy and was therefore less familiar with the affairs of the northern regions.
