Abstract
During the second excommunication imposed on Frederick II (March 20th 1239-August 21st 1241) Gregory IX resolutely invited all the faithful to f ight against the emperor. However, at the same time, several men of the Church (cardinals, patri archs, archbishops, bishops and abbots), masters and friars belonging to the Orders of Minors and Preachers of the Temple, of the Hospital and of the Teutonic Orders, openly sided with – or fought for – the Stupor Mundi. Their support, underval ued by the historiography, allowed Frederick II to continue to exercise his power and to successfully support the conflict with Gregory IX.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
