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.
