# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Conrad III was the son of Duke Frederick I of Swabia and Agnes, daughter of Emperor Henry IV. From 1116 to 1120 he held the Duchy of Franconia, then spent 1127 to 1135 as anti-king against Lothair III before finally securing the throne as King of the Romans in 1138. His reign opened the long feud between Guelphs and Ghibellines that would define imperial politics for generations. In 1147 he joined Louis VII on the Second Crusade, suffered defeat at Doryleum, fell ill and retreated to Constantinople to recover, then pushed on to Jerusalem only to see his sieges fail one after another. Back in Germany he tangled with Welf VI over the Duchy of Bavaria. On his deathbed in 1152, he passed over his own son Frederick IV and named his nephew Frederick Barbarossa as successor.
