Abstract in English
The German Byzantine relations between 1137-1146 were
alliance relationships against Roger II King of Sicily, because in the
increasing of the influence of Roger II in Italy the influence of
German and Byzantine empires was diminished, also the Byzantine
Emperor John Komenan saw in the ambitions of Roger II a direct
threat to the interests of Byzantium in the East and the West.
