Placed in AD 1198 by a source

Each record sits in this year because its source places it here, or because a conversion of the source’s date, stated on the record, does. That is a placement, not a settled date, and not a complete account of the year. “No region assigned” means the collection has not fixed where the act took place. How to read a record

Otto consecrated and enthroned at Aachen

The Chronica regia Coloniensis reports that Otto entered Aachen and was consecrated and enthroned by Archbishop Adolf of Cologne.

Limits: Aachen is explicitly identified at line 6526; Otto is identified in the preceding election narrative. This passage follows the parallel accounts in a common printed text. The excerpt supplies no month or day. The later placement of Richard of England's death before the next annual heading cautions against treating the entire annual section as chronologically uniform.
