Another name for Berengar was Berenger II of Ivrea.
General Notes:
Burke called him Marquis d'Ivree and Roi d'Italie, also Margrave of Ivrea, count of Milan. BERENGARIO, MARCHESE D'IVREA E DI GISLA. Berengar was important in the career of the German king and Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great. For several months in 951 he held captive Adelaide, the daughter and widow of kings of Italy; she escaped and married Otto, who assumed the title of king of the Lombards and made Berengar his vassal. Later (from 960) Berengar and his son Adalbert attacked Pope John XII, on whose appeal Otto marched into Rome and was crowned emperor (962). John's subsequent negotiations with Berengar caused Otto to depose the pope and imprison Berengar in Germany (963).
Noted events in his life were:
• He was a King of Italy from 950 to 961.
Berengar married Willa of Arles, daughter of Boso of Tuscany and Willa, before 936. (Willa of Arles died after 966.)
