Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, whom Ladislaus …
Years: 1097 - 1097
Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor, whom Ladislaus I had supported against Pope Urban II in his last years, writes a letter to Duke Álmos after Coloman's victories over the marauding crusaders.
The emperor states that Coloman had "neglected" imperial "interests because of his own necessities" and asks the duke to intervene on his behalf at Coloman.
However, Coloman—a former bishop—does not continue his predecessor's foreign policy and joins the pope's camp.
Coloman marries Felicia, a daughter of Roger I of Sicily—a close ally of the Holy See—in 1097.
Her sister Constance had married Conrad, the elder son of Emperor Henry IV, in 1095, after he rebelled against his father and joined the pope's camp.
