On November 20, 1194, Emperor Henry VI of the Holy Roman Empire captured Palermo.

Henry VI Heinrich VI (November 1165 ¨C September 28, 1197), King of Germany of the Duchy of Hohenstaufen (1190¨C1197) and Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire (1191 crowned).

His father was "The Red Beard" Friedrich I, his mother Beatrix of Burgundy. Henry VI was born in Nymwegen, Netherlands. Henry VI was roughly the fifth child of the Emperor's couple, and was elected King of Germany in 1190 because of his brother's death. In 1169, Henry VI, aged 4, was crowned King of Germany by his father's will. In 1184 he was ordained as a knight in Mainz and his disciple, Duke of Waban, after a solemn ceremony; but during the celebration the earthquake and the great wind destroyed the tent, becoming a sign of the fall of the dynasty.

Henry's appearance was depressing, pale, serious. He was not tall, weak, and completely different from his father's great beauty. In his youth he was a great lover, and also wrote poems for love, and was the representative of the court lyric poetry of the time. He left about three poems, including "Rîtest du nu hernie" in the mouth of a woman, describing the sadness and sadness of the separation of lovers, became a great work in German literature. In his poems Henry was a loving knight lover with deep feelings, and as a ruler he appeared to be a cold and ruthless attitude toward the enemy. The subsequent pope Henry VI described him as "Henry VI as the wind of the north, violent in the Rose Garden of Sicily."

It is more appropriate to be a poet.
