Information
He was a patron of science and a reformer on the one hand, a brutal power-seeker on the other. Frederick II of Hohenstaufen, king and Holy Roman Emperor from 1212 to 1250, was a man full of contradictions. He was one of the most fascinating and at the same time most contradictory rulers of the Middle Ages: Frederick II, the last and at the same time the greatest emperor of the Staufers. To some he was the Messiah Emperor and the Prince of Peace, a universal genius with great, creative intelligence, the "wonder of the world", but to others he was the beast of the apocalypse that had emerged from the sea, the Antichrist, the beast on the throne. He was a patron of science, a reformer, and might even be called the first modern ruler. Frederick II of Hohenstauf Frederick ii hohenstaufen 1212 spiritual meaning of names!
