Otto (died 4 November 1004), called
Otto of Worms, was
duke of Carinthia from 978 to 985 and again from 1002 until his death.
The only son of
Conrad the Red, Duke of Lotharingia and
Liutgarde, daughter of Emperor
Otto and
Edith. Otto I was appointed duke of Carinthia and
margrave of Verona when
Henry I, Duke of Carinthia, had unsuccessfully rebelled against the king during the
War of the Three Henries and was deposed. In 985 he lost his duchy, but could retain the title of duke as "duke of
Worms". After the death of the margrave, Otto received the March of Verona back. In 1002, Otto was a candidate for king of the
Holy Roman Empire; but he withdrew and received the Duchy of Carinthia from the newly elected king
Henry II, the former duke, in return. He was succeeded as duke by his son,
Conrad.
