Aug. 11th, 2015 04:33 pmDied on this day in 1212 aged 14 Beatrice of Swabia (my toy,wikipedia). Married Otto IV, Holy Roman Emperor, grandson of Henry II; the marriage was arranged because Beatrice's father and Otto had been fighting over who got to be King of the Germans, she was at the time of the marriage 14, he was 37. Tragically she died only 19 days later of disease.
Born on this day in 1086 to Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor and Bertha of Savoy, Henry V, Holy Roman Emperor (my toy,wikipedia). Married Matilda, who lost the Kingship of England to Stephen but got it back for her son Henry (by a different father). There was huge controversy over Henry's ivestiture as Emperor because he wanted to be able to appoint bishops and the Pope didn't want that; he kidnapped the Pope, was excomunicated, did a lot of fighting and eventually the matter was mostly settled with the Concordat of Worms. Henry had no legitimate children and left his lands to his nephew.
