July 1244 CE

The new Pope is a master diplomat.

Entering Rome in 1244 a triumphant procession, Innocent forces a lopsided peace on Frederick in an attempt to centralize and strengthen papal power.

Frederick begins to issue demands contrary to the peace agreement, eventually causing Innocent to show his true Guelph face.

Together with most of the Cardinals, Innocent flees via Genoese galleys to the Ligurian republic, arriving on July 7.

His aim is to reach Lyon.
