Battle of Benevento
The Battle of Benevento was fought in Southern Italy on February 26, 1266, where the invading Angevin forces led by Charles, the Count of Anjou, overcame a combined German-Sicilian force led by Manfred of Sicily. Manfred was killed during or shortly after the battle, ending the Hohenstaufen rule in Sicily. Charles was then invested by Pope Clement IV with the kingship of Naples and Sicily.
