August 1237 CE

The emperor returns again to Italy in August 1237, this time aiming to definitely crush the Second Lombard League.

He crosses the Alps to Verona and here his two thousand knights are joined by Ezzelino III da Romano's troops, including soldiers from Treviso, Padua, Vicenza and Verona itself, as well as by Tuscan men led by Gaboard of Arnstein.

Six thousand infantry and horsemen from the Kingdom of Sicily come later, including Apulian Muslim archers.

The rest of the army is formed by Ghibellines from Cremona, Pavia, Modena, Parma and Reggio, for a total of twelve thousand to fifteen thousand men.
