Marriage of Empress Theophanu
- ...
that the marriage of Empress Theophanu entered Theophanu into consortium imperii with Otto II?

Nice article, long enough, new enough and very well sourced. However, I think it may be mistitled - it should surely be the marriage charter of Theophanu (I see many references to the document as a marriage charter [1]). I'd therefore suggest a slightly more accessible hook, as follows, with a retitled article:
- ALT1: ... that the Marriage Charter of Empress Theophanu gave the Byzantine princess Theophanu joint imperial authority with Holy Roman Emperor Otto II?
- I think this would be clearer to the non-specialist who wouldn't be familiar with the term consortium imperii (which I'd think most people wouldn't have heard of). Prioryman (talk) 21:46, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
- I've moved the article and would be fine with that hook. Thine Antique Pen (talk) 22:00, 24 November 2014 (UTC)
