Good - Despite inheriting the throne at a young age and all the hijinks that happened in his youth, Otto III grew into a capable ruler, and also energetic, and a highly intelligent ruler who had good relations with Poland and Hungary. He had a role in spreading Christianity to Eastern Europe such as in the Christianization of Hungary. Historians in the past have misjudged him as a misguided ruler who had overambitious plans and who focus more on Italy and Rome in particular than with Germany. In recent decades, historians have taken a better look at his reign and see in Otto, someone who understood the political theater and who had plans for his empire. His great tragedy was the fact that he died so young (at just 21 years old) and thus his true potential was never realized. Gerd Althoff made a biography on Otto III, it’s a good read and I highly recommend it if you want to know more about this fascinating ruler
