Conrad was excommunicated in 1254, but died of a fever in the same year, and it was left to his infant son Conradin, born in 1252 and beheaded at age 16 in 1268, to continue the struggle with the Papacy.

Of German origins, Mario Benzing was born on December 7th, 1896, in Como, in northern Italy, where his family momentarily lived, before going back to Stuttgart, the original seat of the motherly branch of his family.
Just like Conrad, Mario Benzing was grown up in a multilingual environment, speaking German as mother-tongue, then English and French, but choosing afterwards Italian as his adoptive language in his new adoptive fatherland.
Above all he worked as a literary translator from English, German and French, writing for many publishing houses; often was he forced to sign as Mario Benzi, because of the nationalistic laws of the Fascist period, which imposed Italian names.
