Otto II of Scheyern (some authors call him Otto III) (died 31 October 1120) was a son of Otto I, Count of Scheyern. His mother can not be unambiguously assigned because Otto I was married with a daughter of Count Meginhardt of Reichersbeuern and later with Haziga of Diessen (the widow of Count Herman of Kastl) and we don't know when Otto was born.
Life
[edit]He was Vogt of Freising and from 1116 also Vogt of Weihenstephan.
Marriage and issue
[edit]Otto II may have been married to Richardis, the daughter of Ulric I, Margrave of Carniola. They had four children:
- Otto III (d. after 15 December 1130)
- Eckhard III (d. after 11 July 1183)
- Bernard II (d. c. 1135)
- unnamed son
