Philip (of Swabia)

Philip (of Swabia)

born 1178
died June 21, 1208, Bamberg, Ger.

German Hohenstaufen king (1198–1208).

The youngest son of Frederick I Barbarossa, he was elected German king on the death of Emperor Henry VI. The rival Welf dynasty elected Otto IV king, and a civil war broke out. A truce was finally called in 1207; Innocent III recognized Philip and promised to crown him emperor (1208), but Philip was murdered first.
