Conrad, son of Henry IV, was a bold warrior who revolted against his father and became a conspicuous figure in the wars and negotiations of his time. He led seventy thousand knights in the second crusade, inspired disorderly crowds at Tyre with confidence, and was eventually assassinated at Tyre. His descent from a race of heroes was evident in both his military command and his complex relationship with his imperial father.
