King Frederick II of Germany:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

King Frederick II of Germany continued to pursue his grandfather's policy of supporting the German princes while enforcing imperial rights throughout the Holy Roman Empire. He also made efforts to promote economic growth in his empire and improve relations with the Muslim world, but there is no evidence that he sought to create a Muslim-style of kingship with a harem and dancing girls. He did have a significant impact on Italy, but he did not establish the Lombard League to cement his control over northern Italy. Similarly, he did not prioritize a crusade to free the Holy Land from the Muslims like his father did.
