English abstract

The paper examines the changes to the Lombard League after the welding of its alliance with the Papacy against Frederick II in 1239.It argues that the launch of the crusade against him in 1240 transformed the League from a corporate body into a multilateral alliance devoted to military and diplomatic matters, which was included in a larger pro-papal party and led by papal legates.Yet the League retained elements of its separate identity, while the leadership of the papal legates came to an end in 1258-9 after a failed crusade against imperial supporters and following a deliberate policy of the Papacy.
