His second wife, Helena, lived five years later in captivity into the castle of Nocera
Inferiore where she died in 1271. Helena Angelina Doukaina, daughter of Michael II
Komnenos Doukas, ruler of the deposed of Epirus, who made this marriage to ally
with Manfred after being attacked by him at Thessalonica. Helena and Manfred
had five children: Beatrice, Frederick, Henry, Enzio and Flordelis of Sicily. Her
children instead grew in chains, and remained there for thirteen years without
regaining freedom. It was said that one of the males had managed to escape, but, as
far as we know, the only one that really escaped and went to Spain to reach his halfsister
is Constance who married Peter of Aragon. It was thanks to this alliance with
the eldest daughter of Manfred that the Aragon kings were welcomed as liberators
in Sicily after the Sicilian Vespers.
The modern city of Manfredonia was built by King Manfred between 1256–1263,
some kilometers north of the ruins of the ancient Sipontum. The Angevines, who
had defeated Manfred and stripped him of the Kingdom of Sicily, christened it
Sypontum Novellum ("New Sypontum"), but that name never imposed.
CONRADIN OF SWABIA – SON OF CONRAD IV
Picture in Naples: Conrad (25 March 1252 – 29 October 1268),
called the Younger or the Boy, but usually known by the
diminutive Conradin (German: Konradin, Italian: Corradino),
was the Duke of Swabia (1254–1268, as Conrad IV), King of
Jerusalem (1254–1268, as Conrad III), and King of Sicily
(1254–1258, de jure until 1268, as Conrad II).
Conradin (or Corradino, cousin of Corrado Caputo
of Antioch), son of Conrad IV in 1268 came to Italy
claiming the legacy of his family, he was accepted as
a legitimate heir
Little is known of his appearance and character
except that he was "beautiful as Absalom, and spoke
good Latin". Although his father had entrusted him
to the guardianship of the church, Pope Innocent IV
pursued Conradin with the same relentless hatred he had against his grandfather
Frederick II, and attempted to bestow the kingdom of Sicily on a foreign prince.
Innocent's successor, Pope Alexander IV, continuing this policy, offered the
Hohenstaufen lands in Germany to Alfonso X, king of Castile, and forbade
Conradin's election as king of the Romans.
