1254 CE

Manfred begins in 1254 to support the Ghibelline communes in Tuscany, in particular Siena, to which he provides a corps of German knights that will be instrumental in the defeat of Florence at the Battle of Montaperti six years on.

He thus reaches the status of patron of the Ghibelline League.
