Entitled: "The plot to poison the Emperor Frederic II prevented by his daughter". Historically, Pope Innocent IV set in motion a plot to kill Frederick, with the support of the pope's brother-in-law Orlando de Rossi. The plotters were unmasked by the count of Caserta, and the city of Altavilla, where they had found shelter, was razed. The guilty were blinded, mutilated, and burnt alive or hanged. Frederick II (December 26, 1194 - December 13, 1250) was a Holy Roman Emperor and King of Sicily in the Middle Ages. His political and cultural ambitions, based in Sicily and stretching through Italy to Germany, and even to Jerusalem, were enormous. Speaking six languages (Latin, Sicilian, German, French, Greek and Arabic, Frederick was an avid patron of science and the arts. He played a major role in promoting literature through the Sicilian School of poetry. He was also the first king who explicitly outlawed trials by ordeal as they were considered irrational. He died in 1250, at the age of 55, his line quickly died out and the House of Hohenstaufen came to an end.
