Queen of Sicily (1194-98) and Holy Roman empress-consort (1191-97). The daughter of King Roger II of Sicily, she married the future emperor Henry VI in 1186 and was later crowned with him in Rome. Her marriage gave the Hohenstaufen dynasty a claim to the Sicilian throne, which she asserted against the opposition of her nephew Tancred. When Henry died (1197) she secured the protection of Pope Innocent III and had her son Frederick II crowned king in 1198.
