The Cambridge Medieval History, Vol III, says that in January 1000
the Emperor Otto III made his last trip to Germany wither the deaths
of two great ladies ... called him.

The two ladies mentioned were the Abbess Matilda and the aged
Empress Adelaide. However, I have a date of death for Adelaide as
December 1000.

Is my date of Adelaide s death incorrect? Or was she just really sick at
the beginning of the year?

Thanks in advance
