Louis of Wittelsbach, who contested the imperial throne with Frederick the Fair of Austria, and had beaten the latter handsomely at Muehldorf, was nevertheless none too safely seated, and became involved in the unending squabbles with the Papacy, aggravated in his case by the removal of the Pope to Avignon.
He was a man of pure and noble character, but the time had passed for Italy to be governed by a German sovereign. A terrible civil war, lasting for ten years, was the consequence.
