	Conrad III - LoveToKnow 1911
		Hastening across the Alps he was crowned king of Italy at Monza in June 1128, and in spite of the papal ban was generally acknowledged in northern Italy.
		Conrad, however, captured the fortress of Weinsberg from Welf in December 1140, and is said to have allowed the women to leave the town, each with as much of her property as she could carry on her back.
		Passing over his younger son Frederick on account of his youth, he appointed as his successor his nephew Frederick III., duke of Swabia, afterwards the emperor Frederick I. Conrad possessed military talents, and had many estimable qualities, but he lacked perseverance and foresight, and was hampered by his obligations to the church.

		The Magyars' westward expansion was halted by Otto in 955 at the Battle of Lechfeld in southern Germany.

	Germany (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		The era from 1914 to 1990 has been tumultuous and often horrific but, at the dawn of the 21st century, Germany seems to have achieved a level of unity seldom seen previously.
		A record of the rulers of German states is an exceedingly complex undertaking, inasmuch as German feudal theory encouraged rampant subdivision of territories within various branches of governing noble families.
		These conditions created between the 12th and 18th centuries many hundreds of small or often miniscule statelets, each with a considerable degree of autonomy, each with its own peculiar traditions and customs, and each liable to be united with its neighbours - or further subdivided - depending upon genealogical accident.

		In reports and analyses of Russian military intelligence and diplomatic representatives in Berlin, Germany’s internal political situation was closely connected with assessments of her place in the geopolitical division of power.
		Therefore, fearing the defeat of her fleet and perhaps its complete destruction in a clash with England that is becoming more and more probable, Germany is forced to seek compensation in a victorious war with France, with whose resources (as tribute) she hopes to build a new fleet.
		In this way, Russian military analysts were convinced that Germany’s main blow would be directed against the west, and at the same time London’s diplomatic maneuvers would force Berlin to make a sudden attack on French positions regardless of the time of year.
