Count Otto II of Nassau-Siegen[note 1] (c. 1305 – between 6 December 1350 and 25 January 1351), German: Otto II. Graf von Nassau-Siegen, was since 1343 Count of Nassau-Siegen[note 2] (a part of the County of Nassau). He descended from the Ottonian Line of the House of Nassau.
Otto is not considered to have been a good regent. His short reign was a succession of feuds during which the country was devastated and the sources of prosperity were blocked.[1][2]
