and to convert him in an instrument of the synarchic policy: must not surprise, then, that his
unsupportive conduct with the Cause of his father death neither the criticism poured in his
book of memories about the acts of his father. Very opposed to the Guelph politicy of James I
would be, instead, the behavior of his son Peter III the Great, who would play entirely against
the papal theocracy.
Thence, when Louis IX the Saint died, in 1270, his son occupied the throne, Philip III,
taking Isabel of Aragon as Queen, sister of Peter III. In that Age took place the events that I
have mentioned yesterday, that’s to say, the Catalan Earl reconstructs the County of Tarseval
and Valentina falls in love with Pedro de Creta. Philip III would govern until 1285, date in
which would be succeeded by Philip Philip IV, the executor arm of the Domini Canis. But what
happens meanwhile, in the summit of the Golem Power, in other words, the Papacy? To answer
it would be necessary to go back to the death of Frederick II, when he was fighting in a success
war against Innocent IV, a war that threatened to end forever with the papal privileges: in these
circumstances, the Golem poisoned him in 1250. But the Emperor had already caused an
irreparable damage in the European political unity and he was leaving in Italy a Ghibelline party
strongly consolidated that would not submit easily to the papal authority. It must be noted
that the hate that the Golem experienced against the House of Swabia was only surpassed by
the one that they professed for millenniums over the House of Tharsis: to that Lineage, as this,
they had sworn to destroy without mercy.
Innocent III and the next Popes, decided to despoil the Hohenstaufen of all their rights
on Italy, that's to say, in Rome, Naples and Sicily, and avoid that some member of that House
could accede to the imperial throne. Frederick II was succeeded by his son Conrad IV, who was
promptly excommunicated by Innocent IV: he died in 1253 leaving as heir to his unique son,
the little Conradin, who had born in 1252. As regent of the child, governs Manfred of Sicily,
natural son of Frederick II. Excellent general, this King continued the war undertaken by his
father against the Golem papacy: he receives three excommunications of Urban IV, terrible arm
of that period but that not left dent in the powerful Saracen army that he formed. Manfred
wins in every part a threat to conclude purifier work of Frederick II; and for disgrace of Urban
IV, he married his daughter Constance with the King Peter III of Aragon. Is in that moment
when the Golems decide to realize an ambitious maneuver, which would be initially successful
but that finally would produce the ruin of their plans: they tried to replace the House of Swabia
of Germany for the House of the Capet of France in the executrix role of the plans of the White
Fraternity.
Even about what can be thought, the plan was not misbegotten due to, particularly
strengthened, but also divided by the feudal character of their States, the German Landowners
could be easily debilitated in their imperial ambitions; in fact the Interregnum, the actual
period in which didn’t exist agreement to elect the King of Germany, could be indefinitely
maintained. That would be, then, the occasion to support the King of France and to assign him
the role that in one time was entrusted to Frederick II. But the Golems were not thinking in the
present King Louis IX, strong personality and difficult to manage, but his successor Philip III,
the most weak and able to be influenced by the clerics of his court. Urban IV offers the throne
of Sicily to Louis IX but the King of France not accepts because he considers legitimate the
rights of the House of Swabia: who accepts is his brother Charles of Anjou, Count of Provence.
This Knight, hero of the Crusades, wants to be King as his brothers and accepts to
