 Conradin
Conradin or Conrad the Younger (March 25, 1252 - October 29, 1268), duke of Swabia, titular king of Jerusalem and Sicily, son of the German king Conrad IV, and of Elizabeth, daughter of Otto II duke of Bavaria, was born at Wolfstein[?] in Bavaria.
We know little of his appearance and character except that he was "beautiful as Absalom, and spoke good Latin." Although his father had entrusted him to the guardianship of the church, Pope Innocent IV pursued Conradin with relentless hatred and attempted to bestow the kingdom of Sicily on a foreign prince.
Innocent's successor, Pope Alexander IV, continued this policy, offered the Hohenstaufen lands in Germany to Alfonso X, king of Castile, and forbade Conradin's election as king of the Romans[?].
