Frederick, shouldering the blame for the failure of the Fifth Crusade and wishing to avoid the excommunication threatened by Pope Honorius III, prepares a new crusade.
Before embarking for the Holy Land to press his claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem-Acre, he convenes an imperial diet for Easter 1226 in Cremona, in northern Italy, in order to reinforce certain imperial rights in Italy and to prepare for the crusade.
The cities of Lombardy, however, reconstitute themselves, under the leadership of Milan, as the Lombard League, and not only sabotage the diet at Cremona but effectively oppose Frederick's reorganization of northern Italy.
