In 894 and again in the winter of 895/6, Hatto accompanied the Emperor on his campaigns in Italy. After the death of Arnulf in 899, Hatto was fundamental in electing his infant son Louis King, and was active in his regency. In 906 in the Babenberger Feud Hatto aligned with the Conradines to defeat and kill the rebellious Adalbert at Fritzlar after breaking his promise to escort him safely, thus allowing them to take over Franconia. The friendship between Hatto and the Conradines was confirmed after the death of King Louis IV in the election of Conrad I to the kingship of Germany. Hatto later attempted to kill Duke Henry the Fowler of Saxony secretly. Hatto died in 913.
