The League (with other Italian cities) openly challenges Frederick's claim to power (Honor Imperii).

- May 29 – Battle of Monte Porzio: The army of the Commune of Rome is defeated by German forces under Frederick I and the local princes; Alexander III leaves Rome.[1] Frederick proceeds to Rome, where he is crowned by Antipope Paschal III for the second time.
