[kasumigenx]

On 1268, Conradin would win against the usurper Charles, Count of Anjou and Provence and expel the French from Sicily and he would marry Elizabeth of Hungary, who is close to succession in Hungary, seeing that the Count of Provence and Anjou had married his son to Mary, a Hungarian Princess himself, Elizabeth was slightly older than her two sisters Mary and Catherine and was more ready give birth to children to neutralize the Hungarians from the camp of the Angevins.

Conradin would be crowned as Conrad I of Sicily on 1268, seeing opposition from Pope Clement IV, he would tell the pope that the succession of Swabia and Sicily would be kept separate after his reign before he was crowned as King of Sicily, he was with his wife, Elizabeth when he told the pope that the thrones would be kept Separate after he had died and also he would meet the pope to have the betrothal between Sophie of Landsberg and Conradin annulled which was done swiftly due to his betrothal being unconsummated and Elizabeth of Hungary and Conradin would be married after the annulment of the marriage.

He would free the children of Manfred from his second marriage but he would force the boys to be raised in a monastery for them to enter ecclesiastical vows while his two daughters, Beatrice and Flordelis would be under the custody of Conradin.

Elizabeth of Hungary’s marriage was negotiated between Conradin and the Hungarians to nullify their alliance with the Angevins, after the annulment of Conradin’s betrothal with Sophie of Landsberg, the Hungarians were very cautious about the marriage of Elizabeth and Conradin because the Hohenstauffens might inherit Hungary if her brother dies without issue, the two would be married after the annulment with Sophie of Landsberg was finalized, Elizabeth of Hungary would prove to be fertile herself as she would have lots of children with her husband and she would support her husband as King as long as he lived.
