In 1198, the death of Queen Constance of Sicily left a young Frederick II, just four years old, as king under the guardianship of Pope Innocent III. But the stakes were high because this isn't just about raising a child monarch. It's about a power struggle spanning empires as the Pope tries to seize this opportunity to keep Sicily independent of the Holy Roman Empire.
