In Rome, Italy, His Majesty Henry III of the Sallian dynasty expelled the three popes, Gregory VI, Benedict IX, and Sylvester III, and put the bishop of Bamberg of the Duchy of Franconia on the papal throne, called Clement II.

Having expelled three rival popes, Clement II and Henry III, who sat on the papal throne, began a feast of division of power.

According to the agreement between the two, Henry III obtained many powers, including the right to appoint bishops in the German regions within the Holy Roman Empire, and further strengthened the royal power.

Of course, the most important thing was to crown Henry III as Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.

Prior to this, Henry III was still the king of the Roman people, the Duke of Franconia and the Duke of Swabia, and he was not crowned and therefore not the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and his crown was not recognized by everyone.

But after Pope Clement II personally crowned Henry III as Holy Roman Emperor, the situation will be very different.

The original princes who were ready to move were all taken by the majesty of the HRE Emperor, including the rebellious Saxons, the unruly Duke of Lorraine, the ambitious Duke of Bavaria, and the distant Dukes of Tuscany and Spoleto.

The Bohèmes, whom he had only newly subjugated in recent years, would have been obediently guarded by the Emperor's majesty to defend the borders of Germany against the Poles and Hungarians.

For many years, when there were constant disputes between Vladislav I, Duke of Bohemia and Casimir I, Archduke of Poland, and the Hungarians often invaded German territory to do whatever they wanted, Henry III, who was crowned emperor, could use the majesty of the emperor to mediate the conflict between the Duke of Bohemia and the Grand Duke of Poland, and to deter the Hungarians who were afraid of power and did not have virtue.

Henry III got everything he wanted, installed a German pope, was crowned Holy Roman Emperor and was given the right to be a bishop, and there was no point in staying in Rome.

Shortly after the coronation, Henry III left the city of Rome and returned with his army.

The reason why he was so eager was to use the power of the crowned HRE Emperor to launch further actions to regain power.

Emperor Henry III first intervened to mediate the dispute between Vladislav I, Duke of Bohemia, and Casimir I, Grand Duke of Poland, and sent troops to subdue the unruly Hungarians.

Later, Henry III took back the Duchy of Bavaria from the Luxembourg family, and the title of Duke of Bavaria was given to Kunno of the House of Ezzoen of the former Swabians, and at the same time, after the death of the former Duke of Otto II, the former Duke of Swabia, he withdrew the title of Duke of Swabian of the House of Ezzoen and gave it to Otto III of Von Babenburg.

Henry III's move not only dissolved the territory and power of the Luxembourg family, but also restored the power of the line of Otto II, Duke of Swabia, who was not against him, by transferring the Ezzourn family, and supported another member of the Ezzourn family to join him.

In Italy, Henry III William strengthened his control over northern Italy, reclaiming the titles and domains of the Duke of Verona and Carinthia from the Duke of Guelph of the House of Welf as his own direct domain.

Henry III's move came as a big surprise to William, who originally wanted to wait for the death of the Duke of Guelph to let Maurice . Welf inherited the Duchy of Verona and the Duchy of Carinthia, but now William's plans were undoubtedly frustrated.

Having lost the inheritance of the two principalities of Verona and Carinthia, Maurice. Welf no longer has and Caesar. Morality. Altwell's capital of rebellion, even if he was the illegitimate son of Duke Ezzo II of Lombardy, and had a strong claim to the Duchy of Lombardy, William could not do anything, he could not do anything for Maurice. Welf went to challenge the Holy Roman Empire with no means of strength.

Perhaps there is only one way to work, and that is to rely on Maurice, Welf's own strength, William does not intervene in it, and regains the Duchy of Lombardy with his own strength.

In this way, by reclaiming, transferring, and canonizing dukes within the Holy Roman Empire, Henry III greatly strengthened royal power and centralized rule, and the prestige of the Salian dynasty became more prominent.

However, the departure of the Holy Roman Emperor Henry III left Caesar, who had been dormant in Apulia. Morality. The Duke of Ottville saw an opportunity to profit from this, and it just so happened that he had in his hands the former Pope Gregory VI, who was in exile at the court of Cannae in the Duchy of Apulia.

This Gregory VI had wanted to make a big difference after ascending to the papacy, but it backfired, and Henry III attacked him in the face, using his purchase and sale of the priesthood as an excuse to expel him.

In order to save Rome from the unscrupulous Benedictine IX, he raised 500 pounds of gold to redeem the papal throne from Benedict IX, and he thought that everything he did was for the benefit of the Holy See and to meet the demands of all.

But now that Gregory VI had been deposed from the papacy by Henry III on such a self-deplorable pretext, he was so reluctant that he fled to Caesar, Duke of Apulia and Calabria, one of the most powerful princes in Italy. Morality. In the court of Ottwell, he was asked to send troops to help him restore the papal throne.

To his disappointment, however, Caesar, Duke of Apulia, seemed to be indifferent to whether or not to restore the papacy to the throne, and he and his Normans were only concerned with wealth and land.

For this reason, he gritted his teeth, endured the pain and promised that he could take the wealth of Rome at will, and promised Caesar that he would be crowned King of Sicily as long as he helped him to ascend to the papal throne.

Caesar did not believe a word about Gregory VI's empty promises, his creed was that what he wanted was never given by others, and that the wealth of the city of Rome and the crown of the King of Sicily would be obtained by himself without dependence on others.

In terms of representation, Caesar seems to respectfully say yes yes, but in his heart he disagrees.

The departure of Henry III gave Caesar a golden opportunity, a chance to conquer the city of Rome and take all its wealth.

He immediately gathered an army that had already been assembled, including Norman knights, nobles, and local infantry, and marched towards the city of Rome.

In Apulia and Calabria in southern Italy, Caesar ruled by an outnumbered many, and his armies were divided into two distinct groups: the Normans, who were mostly nobles and knights, and the native Apulians, who were mostly infantry and archers.

Despite all the shortcomings of such an army, Caesar had not lost a single battle so far, relying on the invincible Norman knights who broke through the enemy lines again and again.
