Emperor Friedrich III Barbarossa

Hohenstaufen Dynasty

German dynasty that ruled the Holy Roman Empire from 1138 to 1208 and from 1212 to 1254. The founder of the line was the count Friedrich, who built Staufen Castle in the Swabian Jura Mountains and was rewarded for his fidelity to Emperor Heinrich IV by being appointed duke of Swabia as Friedrich I in 1079. He later married Heinrich's daughter Agnes. His two sons, Friedrich II, duke of Swabia, and Konrad, were the heirs of their uncle, Emperor Heinrich V, who died childless in 1125. After the interim reign of the Saxon Lothair III, Konrad became German king and Holy Roman emperor as Konrad III in 1138. Subsequent Hohenstaufen rulers were Friedrich III Barbarossa and Heinrich VI. The Hohenstaufen, especially Friedrich I and Friedrich II, continued the struggle with the papacy that began under their Salian predecessors, and were active in Italian affairs. .... more
