Tagliacozzo, Battle of

Years: 1268 - 1268

The Battle of Tagliacozzo is fought on August 23, 1268 between the Ghibellines supporters of Conradin of Swabia and the army of Charles of Anjou.

The battle represents the last act of Swabian power in Italy.

The end of Conradin marks the fall of the Hohenstaufen from the Imperial and Sicilian thrones, leading to a new chapter of Angevin domination in Southern Italy.

“History isn't about dates and places and wars. It's about the people who fill the spaces between them.”
