Henry VI of the Holy Roman Emperor…

1192 CE to 1203 CE

Henry VI of the Holy Roman Emperor launches the Crusade of 1197 in response to the partial victory of Frederick I Barbarossa's crusade in 1190.

The Crusade, also known as the "Emperor's Crusade”, ends abruptly, after the fall of Sidon and Beirut.

Henry VI dies of a fever in Messina in October 1197, and many higher-ranking nobles return to Germany to protect their interests in the next imperial election.

The remaining nobles in the Crusade capture Sidon and Beirut before returning to Germany.
