Frederick II[edit]

This article could use a lot of work, which I will try to find time for...but I just wanted to mention that Frederick II was long gone by 1244. Conrad was technically king but he was never present in the kingdom. Queen Alice in Cyprus was regent for the Kingdom of Jerusalem, but essentially there was no one in charge at all in Jerusalem at the time. The kingdom was ruled from Acre even after Jerusalem was regained in 1229. There were various people representing various competing factions (Alice, Conrad, the lesser nobility, the church, the military orders, the Italians, etc) and I'm not really sure that anyone in particular was in charge in Acre at the time either. Definitely not Frederick though. Adam Bishop (talk) 01:16, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
