Years: 1055 - 1055
February
Henry turns south, to Italy again, in 1055, for Boniface III of Tuscany, ever an imperial ally, had been assassinated in 1052 and his widow, Beatrice of Bar had married Godfrey of Lorraine in 1054.
First, however, he gives his old hostage, Spytihnev, the son of Bretislaus, to the Bohemians as duke.
Spytihnev does homage and Bohemia remains securely, loyally, and happily within the Imperial fold.
