ITALY - KINGDOM OF SICILY - CONSTANCE AND HENRY VI

Henri de Hohenstaufen, defeats Tancred, then pretender to the crown and is crowned on December 25, 1194.

On the death of Henry VI in 1197, Constance dismissed a certain number of Germanic lords who had settled in the kingdom. She died on November 27, 1198, after having entrusted by will the regency of the Kingdom of Sicily to Pope Innocent III..
