Frederick quickly sends envoys to Pope Alexander…
June 1176 CE
Frederick quickly sends envoys to Pope Alexander III at Anagni, asking for an end to the schism between him and Frederick's antipope, Callixtus III.
After a preliminary agreement is reached, a conference is scheduled for July 1177.
Frederick spends some time in the interim interfering in Venetian rivalries in hopes of securing a pro-Imperial group in power at the time of the confrontation.
