It was.on September 28, I 197, that Henry VI, the proudest and most despotic of monarchs, passed away at Messina, a victim of the treacherous Italian climate. He died at the age of thirty-eight, when it looked as if he was on the verge Of founding a world empire. His premature death, wrote a great chronicler, must always be mourned by the German people and all men of Germania, for he had ren dered them distinguished through the wealth Of foreign countries, had made all nations fear him and his valor and had shown that Germany doubt less would have surpassed other peoples if death had not overtaken him.
