Battle of Benevento.

[MagnusMaximus]

What if instead of Charles of Anjou winning the Battle of Benevento, Manfred of Sicily did? What if Manfred himself also managed to live for say another 40 years, giving him ample time to stabilize his kingdom. Additionally, would Conradin attempt to invade Sicily to claim his birthright or remain in Swabia and fight against Ottokar to be Emperor.

Manfred already had a couple sons by his second wife Helena Angelina Doukaina (a daughter/sister of Despots of Epirus), IOTL they were imprisoned and blinded by Charles of Anjou.

I think who, with Manfred in power in Sicily, Conradin will stay in Swabia as he would know who he would likely have little support if he tried to take away Sicily from Manfred
