¹Therefore at the Popes preaching of the Croysie, the Landgrave of Thuring addressed himself to the wars. Again there is running to weapon on both sides, again wretched Germany is by the Popes incensing rent a sunder, & wounded with her own weapons, and slain with civill encounters. Conradus Duke of Sweveland the son of Frederick & proclaimed king of Romans, encountering the Landgrave of Thuring, vanquisheth, chaseth, and slayeth all his host, for all their being marked with the Cross. The same year the Landgrave dyed of a wound.² The princes of Germany that took the popes part, being not yet made the wiser by their so great miseries, but favouring the Pope more then their own country: set up another king against Frederick and his son Conrad. For Pope Innocent sent his Legate Cardinal Peter Capuce into Germany, who calling the princes together to Colon, caused them to choose William Earle of Holland, king, against Frederick & Conrad. Which thing wrought new broils in the Empire.
