In Rome, the pope firmily believed that it was the church, not the emperor, who was the ultimate authority for the empire. Barbarossa could not convince the pope to see things his way, so he appointed his own pope.
This too was not enongh, for pope ant antipope promptly excommunicated each other.
In the end, Barbarossa had to resort again to politics
The greatest of the northern cities
Barbarossa was determined to raze Milan
Barbarossa was not kind to the Milanese.
Five had been blinded
Northern Italy had been mercilessly conquered and placed under Imperial governance. But Italy would not submit. If anything, the destruction of Milan made the Italian cities even more incensed at their would-be emperor.
