We know little of his appearance and character except that he was "beautiful as Absalom, and spoke good Latin." Although his father had entrusted him to the guardianship of the church, Pope Innocent IV pursued Conradin with relentless hatred and attempted to bestow the kingdom of Sicily on a foreign prince. Innocent's successor, Pope Alexander IV, continued this policy, offered the Hohenstaufen lands in Germany to Alfonso X, king of Castile, and forbade Conradin's election as king of the Romans.

Having assumed the title of king of Jerusalem and Sicily, Conradin took possession of the duchy of Swabia in 1262, and remained for some time in his dukedom. Conradin's first invitation to Italy came from the Guelphs of Florence, who asked him to take arms against Manfred, who had been crowned king of Sicily in 1258. Louis refused this invitation on his nephew's behalf, but after Manfred's fall in 1266 envoys from the Ghibelline cities came to Bavaria and urged Conradin to come and free Italy. Pledging his lands, he crossed the Alps and issued a manifesto at Verona setting forth his claim on Sicily. A duchy is a territory, fief, or domain ruled by a duke or duchess. ...

Notwithstanding the defection of his uncle Louis and of other companions who returned to Germany, the threats of Pope Clement IV, and a lack of funds, his cause seemed to prosper. Proclaiming him king of Sicily, his partisans both in the north and south of Italy took up arms; Rome received his envoy with enthusiasm; and the young king himself received welcomes at Pavia and Pisa. In November 1267 the Church excommunicated him; but his fleet won a victory over that of Charles, duke of Anjou, who had taken possession of Sicily on Manfred's death; and in July 1268 Conradin himself met with immense enthusiasm at Rome.

Escaping from the field of battle, Conradin reached Rome, but acting on advice to leave the city he proceeded to Astura, where he was seized and handed over to Charles of Anjou. At Naples he was tried as a traitor, and on October 29, 1268 was beheaded with his friend and companion Frederick of Baden, titular duke of Austria. The term Saracen comes from Greek sarakenoi. ...
