The analysis of John of Ibelin’s rebellion against Frederick II in the kingdoms of Cyprus and Jerusalem between the Sixth and Seventh Crusades shows that the manifestation of dissent was created to protect an established position of power that can be transformed into an instrument of opposition to the sovereign’s authority, wich, in a short time, strengthens its prestige. After five years of fighting and negotiations epically narrated by Filippo da Novara, a chronicler whose bias towards the rebels has influenced the subsequent historiography, a peace was established in 1236 in the overseas Latin kingdoms. So as not to disturb the Agreements of Jaffa, the preparations for a new crusade are once again entrusted to the Norman-Staufen ruler, renamed as ‘the new King Solomon’ by the Pope.

Abstract
The analysis of John of Ibelin’s rebellion against Frederick II in the kingdoms of Cyprus and Jerusalem between the Sixth and Seventh Crusades shows that the manifestation of dissent was created to protect an established position of power that can be transformed into an instrument of opposition to the sovereign’s authority, wich, in a short time, strengthens its prestige. After five years of fighting and negotiations epically narrated by Filippo da Novara, a chronicler whose bias towards the rebels has influenced the subsequent historiography, a peace was established in 1236 in the overseas Latin kingdoms. So as not to disturb the Agreements of Jaffa, the preparations for a new crusade are once again entrusted to the Norman-Staufen ruler, renamed as ‘the new King Solomon’ by the Pope.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
