The Investiture Quarrel caused a split between the Italian city-states and even the populations of the city-states. Guelf was the name given to those who supported the papacy — while the Ghibellines were supporters of the Holy Roman Empire. Guelph cities tended to be further from the Papal States and closer to the Holy Roman Empire, while Ghibelline cities were further from the Holy Roman Empire and closer to the temporal power of the Pope.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattles raged across Italy from the mid-1100s to the mid-1300s, with both sides coming to dominate at one point or another. This sixth Men of Iron game covers some of these battles: starting with Frederick Barbarossa attempting to retake rebellious provinces in Italy in the late 12th century, crossing into the 13th century with a few battles that marked the end of direct Hohenstaufen rule in Italy, and ending with a war that, according to myth, was fought over the theft of a bucket from one city by another!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBattles include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLegnano May 29, 1176 – Frederick Barbarossa fights the Lombard League for control of northern Italy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCortenuova November 27, 1237 – Frederick II, grandson of Barbarossa, clashes with the Second Lombard League for control of northern Italy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMontaperti September 4, 1260 – Florence and Sienna fight one of the bloodiest battles in medieval Italy — as seen on television, or in GMT's Inferno!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBenevento February 26, 1266 – Manfred, King of Sicily, died in battle in southern Italy against Charles I, also King of Sicily, thus ensuring Charles I the title of King of Sicily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTagliacozzo August 23, 1268 – Conradin III, King of Jerusalem, is captured and executed after a battle in southern Italy against Charles I, King of Sicily.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCampaldino June 11, 1289 – Florence and Arezzo fight in northern Italy.
