Holy Roman Emperor from 1133 to 1137
He held the empire for four years, sandwiched between rival houses, spending his reign fending off the Hohenstaufens who wanted his crown and died on the road home from fighting Normans in the south.
Born around June 1075, the son of Saxon count Gebhard of Supplinburg, Lothair was named Duke of Saxony in 1106. In 1125 he was elected King of Germany, then crowned Holy Roman Emperor in Rome in 1133. His years at the top were dominated by the scheming of two Hohenstaufen dukes — Frederick II of Swabia and Conrad of Franconia — who never stopped angling for his throne. He campaigned successfully against the Norman Kingdom of Sicily, but died on 4 December 1137 while making his way back north.
