 | | 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. |
 | | Conradin's first invitation to Italy came from the Guelphs[?] of Florence, who asked him to take arms against Manfred, who had been crowned king of Sicily in 1258. |
 | | Escaping from the field of battle, Conradin reached Rome, but acting on advice to leave the city he proceeded to Astura[?], where he was seized and handed over to Charles of Anjou. |
