Fürstentum Tarent
Henry was already preparing to invade Sicily a second time when Tancred died in February 1194. Later that year he moved south, leveled Salerno to the ground in revenge for arresting Constance, entered Palermo unopposed, deposed Tancred's young son William III, and had himself crowned instead. Prior to that he agreed the request of Constance to enfoeff William County of Lecce and Principality of Taranto on November 20.
