## Bio

Born in 1194 to a Hohenstaufen emperor and a Sicilian queen, Frederick was crowned King of Sicily at three. By 1220 he held Germany, Italy, Burgundy, and the imperial crown; by 1225 he added Jerusalem through marriage and a crusade. He built an absolutist state in Sicily with a secular bureaucracy, patronized the Sicilian School of poetry that shaped modern Italian, and ran a Palermo court that became the intellectual center of the early 13th century. The papacy, caught between his northern and southern territories, excommunicated him four times and declared him the Antichrist's herald. He died in 1250; his Hohenstaufen line collapsed soon after, and the empire slid into the Great Interregnum.
