The New International Encyclopædia/Berengar II.

BERENGAR II. (?–966). The grandson of Berengar I. and King of Italy after 950. His enemies summoned to their aid Otho I. of Germany, and Berengar was obliged to become his vassal. After the death of Alberic, the ruler of Spoleto and patrician of the Romans, Berengar became very powerful. Again his enemies summoned Otho. Berengar was dethroned in 961 and imprisoned at Bamberg, where he died in 966.
