1268 CE
Conradin, having strengthened his forces, marches towards Lucera to join the Saracen troops settled there since the time of his grandfather.
On August 23, 1268, his multinational army of Italian, Spanish, Roman, Arab and German troops encounters that of Charles at Tagliacozzo, in a hilly area of central Italy.
The eagerness of Conradin's Spanish knights under Infante Henry of Castile in the most successful first charge, and the error in obtaining plunder in the enemy's camp after that momentary victorious assault, gives the final victory to the reinforced French.
