However, until the debacle at the Battle of Bouvines in 1214, Frederick's authority was quite tenuous and he was recognized only in southern Germany: in northern Germany, the center of Guelph power, Otto continued to hold the reins of royal and imperial power despite excommunication.

Otto, crushed in the Battle of Bouvines by the French, died some years later, a lonely man in the Harzburg, while Frederick would be crowned Emperor in Rome by the pope.

UK supermarket Asda has lost a battle to sell authentic Parma ham under the Parma brand, when the meat is sliced and pre-packed in Britain.
European judges have ruled the ham must be packed and sliced in Parma itself to be marketed under its name of origin.

 Edinburgh Evening News - UK - Asda loses battle over Parma ham
The verdict is a victory for the Italian Parma ham trade consortium, Consorzio del Prosciutto di Parma, which challenged Asda in the UK courts in 1997 for not respecting an Italian law requiring that slicing and packaging of Parma ham must be carried out in the Parma production region under the consortium’s control.
The battle went all the way to London’s High Court, which passed the matter to the Luxembourg judges for a ruling on the EU’s Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) law.
Asda buys its "Parma ham" from Hygrade Foods near Chippenham, which in turn buys the ham boned but not sliced from an Italian producer belonging to the consortium which brought the legal action.
