Peter II., king of See also:Sicily. He was See also:born at See also:Amberg on the 5th of May 1352, and from his See also:early years took See also:part in the See also:government of the See also:Palatinate to which he succeeded on his See also:father's See also:death in 1398. He was one of the four See also:electors who met at See also:Oberlahnstein in See also:August 1400 and declared King See also:Wenceslaus deposed. This was followed by the See also:election of Rupert as German king at Rense on the 21st of that See also:month, and by his See also:coronation at See also:Cologne on the 6th of the following See also:January. Winning some recognition in S. See also:Germany, he made an expedition to See also:Italy, where he hoped to receive the imperial See also:crown, and to crush Gian Galleazzo See also:Visconti, See also:duke of See also:Milan. In the autumn of 1401 he crossed the See also:Alps, but his troops, checked before See also:Brescia, melted away, and in 1402 Rupert, too poor to continue the See also:campaign, returned to Germany. The See also:news of this failure increased the disorder in Germany, but the king met with some success in his efforts to restore See also:peace, and in See also:October 1403, he was recognized by See also:Pope See also:Boniface IN. It was only the indolence of Wenceslaus that prevented his overthrow, and in 1406 he was compelled to make certain concessions. The See also:quarrel was complicated by the papal See also:schism, but the king was just beginning to make some headway when he died at his See also:castle of Landskron near See also:Oppenheim on the 18th of May 1410 and was buried at See also:Heidelberg. He married See also:Elizabeth, daughter of See also:Frederick IV. of See also:Hohenzollern, See also:burgrave of Nuremburg, and See also:left three sons and four daughters. Rupert, who earned the surname of clemens, was brave and generous, but his resources were totally inadequate to See also:bear the See also:strain of the German kingship.
