  === Life Sketch ===
  Philipp von Schwaben (* Februar oder März 1177 in oder bei Pavia; † 21. Juni 1208 in Bamberg
  
  Philip of Swabia (February or March 1177 in or near Pavia ; died 21 June 1208 in Bamberg) from the noble family of the Staufer was Roman-German king from 1198 until his assassination in 1208.
  
  The death of Emperor Henry VI in 1197 caused the staupi rule in Imperial Italy to collapse as far as Sicily and created a power vacuum in the empire north of the Alps. Reservations about the royalty of the minor son Frederick led to two royal elections in 1198, which resulted in the "German" throne dispute: the two elected kings Philip of Swabia and the Welfe Otto of Brunswick, the later Emperor Otto IV, claimed the royal office for themselves. In the following years, both opponents tried to win the conflict through European and papal support, with the help of money and gifts, through demonstrative public appearances and rituals (symbolic communication), through increases in rank or with military and diplomatic measures. Philip was able to impose his royality increasingly against Otto in the empire north of the Alps. At the height of his power, however, he was assassinated in 1208. This also ended the dispute over the throne. His opponent Otto quickly found recognition for his royality. Philip was the first Roman-German king to be assassinated during his reign. In posterity, Philip is one of the little-noticed Staufian rulers.

  === German King, Duke of Swabia. Son of Emperor Friedrich I ===
  German King, Duke of Swabia. Son of Emperor Friedrich I. Barbarossa and Beatrix of Burgundy. As the youngest son he was supposed to pursue a clerical career, but he gave it up in 1193. He followed his brother Emperor Heinrich VI. to Italy and became Duke of Tuscany. In 1196 after the death of his brother Konrad he became Duke of Swabia. In 1197 he married Irene Angela of Byzantium. After the death of Heinrich VI. his widow Constance separated the Kingdom of Sicily from the German crown and renounced her sons claims for the German throne. Philipp was reluctant to succeed his brother, but to safe the crown for the house of the Staufer he let himself be elected King in March 1198. He was crowned on September 8. 1198 in Mainz which weakened his position, because the King had to be crowned in Aachen. In June of the same year several dukes that supported the house of the Guelphs elected Otto of Brunswick as anti-king. Otto was crowned in Aachen with copies of the royal insignia, the originals were in Philipps possession. Philipp ignored Pope Innocent III. decision for Otto and started a war. In 1205 he was again crowned King, but this time in Aachen. In 1206 he was able to defeat Otto who lost the support of the Pope. While staying in Bamberg he was murdered by Otto of Wittelsbach in an act of personal revenge. Otto of Wittelsbach was killed in the following year. Philipp was buried in the Cathedral of Bamberg. Emperor Friedrich II., his nephew, moved his body to the Cathedral of Speyer on Christmas 1213.

  === Duke of Swabia; Holy Roman Emperor, 119 ===
  Duke of Swabia; Holy Roman Emperor, 1198-1208 The youngest son of the Holy Roman emperor Frederick I Barbarossa, Philip was destined for the church. After being provost of the cathedral at Aachen, he was, in 1190 or 1191, elected bishop of Würzburg. Shortly after the death of his brother Frederick (1191), however, he abandoned his ecclesiastical career. Another brother, the Holy Roman emperor Henry VI, made him duke of Tuscany in 1195 and duke of Swabia in 1196. In May 1197 he married Irene, daughter of the Byzantine emperor Isaac II Angelus. At Henry VI's death in September 1197, his son, the future emperor Frederick II, was less than three years old, and the German princes were unwilling to accept him as king. The princes favourable to the Hohenstaufens elected Philip German king in March 1198. The opposing party, led by Archbishop Adolf of Cologne, elected Otto, a son of Henry the Lion of Brunswick of the rival Welf dynasty, king in June of that year. Otto was crowned at Aachen, the proper place for the ceremony, by Archbishop Adolf. Philip's coronation, by another prelate, did not take place until September 1198 at Mainz. In the ensuing civil war the Hohenstaufen cause prospered at first. In 1201, however, Pope Innocent III recognized Otto as king and excommunicated Philip. Philip's fortunes were only restored in 1204, by a series of defections from Otto's side, culminating in that of Adolf of Cologne himself. In June 1205, Adolf crowned Philip at Aachen. The city of Cologne, which, notwithstanding its archbishop, had sided with Otto, was captured in January 1207, and Otto's cause seemed lost. Late in 1207, however, when Philip offered to give Otto one of his daughters in marriage and to enfeoff him with either the duchy of Swabia or the kingdom of Arles, Otto, buoyed by hopes of financial, if not military, support from the kings of England and Denmark, rejected the offer. Nevertheless, a truce was arranged that lasted until June of the following year. In 1208 Pope Innocent III recognized Philip as king and promised to crown him emperor. Philip, who had mobilized his army at Bamberg in order to move against Otto, was waiting for the truce to expire when he was murdered by Otto of Wittelsbach, count Palatine of Bavaria, to whom he had refused to give one of his daughters in marriage. Eventually his daughters were married: Beatrix the Elder to his old rival Otto, Cunigunda to King Wenceslas of Bohemia, and Beatrix the Younger to Ferdinand III of Castile. A brave man, Philip was praised by contemporaries for his mildness and generosity. The diversion of the Fourth Crusade to Constantinople is assumed by some authorities to have been prompted by him in the interests of his brother-in-law, the Byzantine emperor Alexius IV Angelus.

  [edit] Biography
  Philip was the fifth and youngest son of the emperor Frederick I and
  Beatrix, daughter of Renaud III, count of Burgundy, and brother of the
  emperor Henry VI. He entered the clergy, was made provost of
  Aix-la-Chapelle, and in 1190 or 1191 was chosen bishop of Würzburg.
  Having accompanied his brother Henry to Italy in 1191, Philip forsook
  his ecclesiastical calling, and, travelling again to Italy, was made
  duke of Tuscany in 1195 and received an extensive grant of lands. In
  his retinue in Italy was the Minnesinger Bernger von Horheim.
  
  In 1196 Philip became duke of Swabia, on the death of his brother
  Conrad; and in May 1197 he married Irene Angelina, daughter of the
  Byzantine emperor, Isaac II, and widow of Roger III, Titular King of
  Sicily, a lady who is described by Walther von der Vogelweide as " the
  rose without a thorn, the dove without guile."
  
  Philip enjoyed his brother's confidence to a very great extent, and
  appears to have been designated as guardian of the Henry's young son
  Frederick, afterwards the emperor Frederick II, in case of his
  father's early death. In 1197 he had set out to fetch Frederick from
  Sicily for his coronation as King of the Germans when he heard of the
  emperor's death and returned at once to Germany. He appears to have
  desired to protect the interests of his nephew and to quell the
  disorder which arose on Henry's death, but was overtaken by events.
  The hostility to the kingship of a child was growing, and after Philip
  had been chosen as defender of the empire during Frederick's minority
  he consented to his own election. He was elected German king at
  Mühlhausen on March 8, 1198, and was crowned at Mainz on the September
  8 following.
  
  Meanwhile, a number of princes hostile to Philip, under the leadership
  of Adolph, Archbishop of Cologne, had elected an anti-king in the
  person of Otto, second son of Henry the Lion, duke of Saxony. In the
  war that followed, Philip, who drew his principal support from south
  Germany, met with considerable success. In 1199 he received further
  accessions to his party and carried the war into his opponent's
  territory, although unable to obtain the support of Pope Innocent III,
  and only feebly assisted by his ally Philip Augustus, king of France.
  The following year was less favourable to his arms; and in March 1201
  Innocent took the decisive step of placing Philip and his associates
  under the ban, and began to work energetically in favour of Otto.
  
  Also in 1201, Philip was visited by his cousin Boniface of Montferrat,
  the leader of the Fourth Crusade. The Crusaders were by this time
  under Venetian control and were besieging Zara on the Adriatic Sea.
  Although Boniface's exact reasons for meeting with Philip are unknown,
  while at Philip's court he also met Alexius Angelus, Philip's
  brother-in-law. Alexius convinced Boniface, and later the Venetians,
  to divert the Crusade to Constantinople and restore Isaac II to the
  throne, as he had recently been deposed by Alexius III, Alexius and
  Irene's uncle.
  
  The two succeeding years were still more unfavourable to Philip. Otto,
  aided by Ottokar I, king of Bohemia, and Hermann I, landgrave of
  Thuringia, drove him from north Germany, thus compelling him to seek
  by abject concessions, but without success, reconciliation with
  Innocent. The submission to Philip of Hermann of Thuringia in 1204
  marks the turning-point of his fortunes, and he was soon joined by
  Adolph of Cologne and Henry I, Duke of Brabant.
  
  On January 6, 1205 he was crowned again with great ceremony by Adolph
  at Aix-la-Chapelle, though it was not until 1207 that his entry into
  Cologne practically brought the war to a close. A month or two later
  Philip was loosed from the papal ban, and in March 1208 it seems
  probable that a treaty was concluded by which a nephew of the pope was
  to marry one of Philip's daughters and to receive the disputed dukedom
  of Tuscany. Philip was preparing to crush the last flicker of the
  rebellion in Brunswick-Lüneburg when he was murdered at Bamberg, on
  June 21, 1208, by Otto of Wittelsbach, count palatine in Bavaria.
  Otto, already known for his unstable character, fell into a rage when
  he learned of the dissolution of his betrothal to Gertrude of Silesia
  by her father, Duke Henry I the Bearded of Lower Silesia. Henry was
  apparently informed of the Wittelsbach's cruel tendencies and in an
  act of concern for his young daughter decided to terminate the
  marriage agreement. Otto proceeded to blame Philip, without grounds,
  for another spurned marriage alliance (the first being to Philip's own
  daughter, Beatrice) and swore revenge on the German King, culminating
  in the murder at Bamberg.[1]
  
  Philip was a brave and handsome man, and contemporary writers, among
  whom was Walther von der Vogelweide, praise his mildness and
  generosity.
