Guelph
Guelph Political faction in medieval Italy, opposed to the Ghibelline. The two factions were linked to rival families contending for the Holy Roman Empire in the 12th century. In 1198, Otto IV (a Guelph) became Holy Roman Emperor. In the battle for control of Italy, the Guelphs took the side of the papacy, while the Ghibellines backed the emperor Frederick II. In 1268, the Guelphs defeated the Ghibellines at Tagliacozzo, but the feud smouldered on. See also Hohenstaufen
