Due to his brother’s death, what collapsed in imperial Italy?
The Byzantine Empire
The House of Medici
The House of Sforza
The Hohenstaufen rule
Answer
The Hohenstaufen rule collapsed in imperial Italy due to the death of Henry VI in 1197. This was because Henry VI was the only son of Frederick I, and therefore his death meant that there was no clear successor to the throne. This led to a power struggle between the various factions in Italy, which eventually resulted in the collapse of the Hohenstaufen rule.
