Year 1268:

The German king Conradin receives an enthusiastic reception at Rome in July, but his troops are defeated at Tagliacozzo in August by the king of Sicily Charles d'Anjou. Guelph agents of Charles seize Conradin at Astura; tried as a traitor and condemned, he is beheaded at Naples in October along with his friend Friedrich of Baden, titular duke of Austria, and the house of Hohenstaufen becomes extinct. Also beheaded are the Ghibelline leaders Gherardo and Galvano Gherardesca, who have fought alongside Conradin (beheading is considered more humane than hanging and is a privilege granted only to royalty and nobility). The execution of the 16-year-old Conradin has at least the tacit approval of Pope Clement IV, but it shocks Europe, antagonizes England's Henry III and France's Louis IX, and begins a long-lasting alienation of Germans from the Roman Church.

Hungary's Crown Prince Stephen (Istv�n) invades Bulgaria and assumes the title king of Bulgaria.

Pope Clement IV dies at Viterbo in the Papal States November 29 after a 3-year reign and will not be replaced until 1271.

By the Way, i checked out what happened to the British King of Sicily (Edmund Crouchback) - who was appointed by the Pope in 1255 - it looks he was king for about a year before others muscled in on his territory...

Well, I was just woken up out of a sound sleep about 20 minutes ago by a cell phone call. When I looked at the phone in a half awake daze I thought it was my son (who never calls at 6AM so I am thinking "What has happenned now!?"). I hit redial and the person on the other end doesn't speak English. I look at the number on the display again and on the phone number in the exchange the first number was the same as my son's last 2 digits were reversed from his number and in the 4 digit part there were 2 numbers in the same sequence as his.

Consequently, I am now wide awake before 7AM on a Saturday.
