Henry VI., king of the See also:Romans and See also:emperor, were supported by most of the nobles. Tancred was a See also:good soldier, though his tiny stature earns from See also:- PETER

Peter of See also:Eboli the nick-name " Tancredulus." But he was See also:ill-supported in his task of maintaining the See also:Norman See also:kingdom, faced with See also:general apathy, and threatened by a baronial revolt, and, in addition, See also:Richard Coeur-de-See also:Lion, at See also:Messina, 1190, threatened him with See also:war. Henry, skilfully winning over See also:Pisa, See also:Genoa and the See also:Roman See also:Commune, isolated Tancred and intimidated See also:Celestine III., who, on the 14th of See also:April 1191, crowned him emperor at See also:Rome. He, however, failed to See also:capture See also:Naples in See also:August and retired See also:north, leaving garrisons along the frontiers of the Regno. Tancred now sought to win over the towns by extensive grants of privileges, and at See also:Gravina (See also:June 1192) was recognized by the See also:pope, whose ineffectual support he gained by surrendering the royal legateship over Sicily. In 1192 and 1193 he commanded personally and with success against the Apulian barons, but his See also:death at See also:Palermo (loth of See also:February 1194) a few days after that of Roger, his son and See also:joint-king, made Henry's path clear. His wife Sibilla indeed maintained a regency for her second son William III., but on Henry's final descent, Naples surrendered almost without a See also:blow in May 1194, and the See also:rest of the Regno followed. Sibilla and the loyal Margarito prepared to defend Palermo, but the citizens admitted the emperor on the loth of See also:November 1194. Tancred's See also:family See also:fell into Henry's hands, and William III. seems to have died in See also:Germany in 1198.
