Decade of 950s
950: The armies loyal to Frederick approach Sicily. Liutprand and his loyal men try to flee to the island of Malta, controlled by Tunis, but their fleet wrecks near Lampedusa. The Tunisians don't allow the Romans to navigate there.
951: Frederick, proclaimed as 'the Great', gives birth to the 'Middle Empire': the Empire is slightly centralized and better reorganized. The former Saxon duchies and Silesia are formally annexed as Imperial duchies. The civil war continues in Spain, as the vassal King of Castile refuses to recognize Frederick as Emperor.
952: The British Danes suffer an unexpected and harsh defeat against the Kingdom of Norway in the waters of Northumbria.

954: Frederick the Great strips the title of King of Castile after defeating the final resistence in Spain: the Imperial Spain (excluding Vasconia) is divided into two specially militarized duchies, the West Gothia and the East Gothia.
955: Frederick the Great reaches a secret agreement with the Tunisians and they finally manage to capture Liutprand in Lampedusa, who is immediately executed. End of the Roman civil war.
