1263 CE
Urban has negotiated with Manfred for two years regarding whether the latter would aid the Latins in regaining Constantinople in return for papal confirmation of the Hohenstaufen rights in the regno.
The papal pact meanwhile solidifies with Charles a promise of papal ships and men, produced by a crusading tithe, and Charles' promise not to lay claims on Imperial lands in northern Italy, nor in the Papal States.
Charles promises to restore the annual census or feudal tribute due the Pope as overlord, some ten thousand ounces of gold being agreed upon, while the Pope promises to work to block Conradin from election as King of the Germans.
Charles ratifies a treaty with the Pope in July 1263.
