He was son of Cosmus, the great Duke of Florence." -Carr P. Collins, Jr., "Royal Ancestors of Magna Charta Barons"(Dallas, 1959), p. 103. Some records say that Otho went to Normandy in the caravan of King Canute of England who had passed through Florence on his way home from a pilgrimage to Rome. It is said that he came into England later with Edward the Confessor when he was called back from exile to be King of England.
