Where was Barbarossa Chandelier crowned Holy Roman Emperor?
Barbarossa Chandelier The Barbarossa Chandelier (German: "Barbarossaleuchter") was made on the order of Emperor Frederick I, nicknamed Barbarossa, and his wife Beatrice sometime between 1165 and 1170 and was installed under the cupola of the Palatine Chapel in Aachen Cathedral. The chandelier was a donation in honour of Mary, Mother of God, the patroness of Aachen Cathedral and simultaneously represented a tribute to the builder of the cathedral, Charlemagne.
German throne dispute The German throne dispute or German throne controversy (German: "Deutscher Thronstreit" ) was a political conflict in the Holy Roman Empire at the end of the 12th and beginning of the 13th centuries. This dispute between the House of Hohenstaufen and House of Welf was over the successor to Emperor Henry VI who had just died. After a conflict lasting almost 20 years the Hohenstaufens gained the upper hand in the guise of Frederick II.
