This is amazing and awesome, although terrible for Beatrice :( Thank you!
Also, this is why your synopses are WAY better than reading Wikipedia:
Otto was related to every other King of Germany. He married twice: 1209 or 1212 to Beatrice of Swabia, daughter of the German King Philip of Swabia and Irene Angelina.[32] 19 May 1214, in Aachen to Maria of Brabant, daughter of Henry I, Duke of Brabant, and Matilda of Boulogne.[33] Neither marriage produced any children.
