Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia | 0.01 sec. |
HohenstaufenGerman family of princes, several members of which were Holy Roman Emperors 1138-1208 and 1214-54. They were the first German emperors to make use of associations with Roman law and tradition to aggrandize their office, and included Conrad III; Frederick I (Barbarossa), the first to use the title Holy Roman Emperor (previously the title Roman emperor was used); Henry VI; and Frederick II. The last of the line, Conradin, was executed in 1268 with the approval of Pope Clement IV while attempting to gain his Sicilian inheritance. They were supported by the Ghibellines (see Guelph and Ghibelline), who took their name from the family's castle of Waiblingen. How to thank TFD for its existence?

| I wanted to go to Aquila--the opposite of Rome in every respect, and actually founded in a spirit of enmity towards that city (just as I also shall found a city some day), as a memento of an atheist and genuine enemy of the Church--a person very closely related to me,--the great Hohenstaufen, the Emperor Frederick II. |
