Manfred of Sicily, known as the bastard of Frederick II, was a brave and active prince who ruled through a combination of Hohenstaufen royal blood and strategic alliances with Saracen colonies. His subjects compared him first to a wolf, then to a lamb, reflecting the complex nature of his rule before his defeat by Charles of Anjou.
