But the Emperor Frederick the .2.1 Nephew to Barbarossa, an excellent prince, many Popes did excommunicate: Honorius the .3. Gregory the .9. and Innocentius the .4. And in deed Gregory the .9. whilst Frederick that excellent Prince made war in Syria for religion with the Soldan, invaded and kept the provinces of Frederick. 2There were most cruel wars and discords betwixt the Popes and this Frederick. The same Innocentius the .4. excommunicateth Conrad the .4. of that name, and Son of Frederick the .2. and stireth up the Prince of Thuringe against him. And when the Emperor Conrad was dead, the Pope obtained the good wills of the Neapolitans, to yield themselves to the See of Rome. Conrad had left a Son and heir Conradine, and Manfred his bastard brother, which would be called king of Sicily. Wherefore Pope Urbane the fourth (some have Clement the .4.) against Manfred sent for Charles, brother to king Lewis the French king, Earl of Province and of Saint, to come with an Army into Italy,3 and called him ⟨p. 418⟩King of both Sicilies. Who overcome and slew Manfred at Benevent, & received the kingdoms of Sicily of the Pope to do him homage. But Conradinus Duke of Swavelande, accompanied with Frederick Duke of Austria leadeth out of Germany a right well furnished Army into Italy against Charles for the recovering of his old and fatherly kingdom. But vanquished of Charles at the lake Fucine, he was taken with duke Frederick. 4There were slain, as it is said .12. thousand. The occasion of so great an evil were the Popes, chiefly Clement the .4. which being demanded of Charles the worthy Prince, what he should do with his prisoners, answered so, that the French men understood that they must suffer. Therefore he put them both to the sword. In whom the house and posterity of the most noble Dukes of Austria and Swavelande is said to have failed. Paulus Aemilius discourseth this gear more at large in the .7. book of French Acts, and Aventinus in the .7. book. But yet might not the Ire and fury of those most holy fathers be so pacified, conceived hereof, that the most noble Dukes of Swavelande had for gods glory and the common wealths sake, most godly and most constantly resisted the Romish Bishops, Wolves I would have said.
