| Summary | "Barbarossa; An Historical Novel of the XII Century" by Conrad von Bolanden is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the power struggles between the church and the civil authority of the Holy Roman Empire during the 12th century, focusing on the conflict between Emperor Frederick Barbarossa and Pope Alexander III. Central to the narrative are characters such as Barbarossa, the ambitious Emperor, and Bonello, a Guelph knight facing execution for his opposition to tyranny, showcasing themes of loyalty, love, and the quest for freedom. The opening of this novel sets the stage by illustrating the political landscape of 12th-century Lombardy, where the city of Milan has established dominance while the Emperor's authority is nominal. It emphasizes the brewing tensions leading to violence as Frederick, fueled by anger over Milan's defiance, prepares to assert his power over the region. The narrative introduces the character of Bonello, condemned for his resistance against Barbarossa’s regime, and his daughter Hermengarde, who hopes for her father's pardon. Their relationship, alongside the looming threat of execution, establishes a poignant emotional core that intertwines the historical narrative with personal stakes, foreshadowing the battles to come.
