Frederick Barbarossa, born of two of Germany's most powerful families, swept to the imperial throne in a coup d'état in 1152. A leading monarch of the Middle Ages, he legalized the dualism between the crown and the princes that endured until the end of the Holy Roman Empire. This new biography, the first in English in four decades, paints a rich picture of a consummate diplomat and effective warrior. John Freed mines Barbarossa's recently published charters and other sources to illuminate the monarch's remarkable ability to rule an empire that stretched from the Baltic to Rome, and from France to Poland. Offering a fresh assessment of the role of Barbarossa's extensive familial network in his success, the author also considers the impact of Frederick's death in the Third Crusade as the key to his lasting heroic reputation. In an intriguing epilogue, Freed explains how Hitler's audacious attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 came to be called "Operation Barbarossa."

Im Zentrum des Buches steht ein Reisebericht über Ägypten und Syrien, welcher 1175/1176 im Kontext einer Legation im Auftrag Friedrichs I. zu Sultan Saladin entstanden sein soll. Weitere Hinweise zu der Gesandtschaft liegen nicht vor, über den Autor Burchard von Straßburg ist wenig bekannt, auch scheint der Inhalt des Berichts zunächst fragwürdig. Ob es sich tatsächlich um authentische Beobachtungen und um das Produkt einer Gesandtschaftsreise handelt, wird hier nun eingehend geprüft. Die Untersuchung liefert eine kritische Edition des Berichtes und eine genaue Textanalyse. Die Reiseroute von Genua über Alexandria, Kairo, Matariya, Damaskus, Saidnaya und wieder zurück wird akribisch nachvollzogen. Im Vergleich mit muslimischen Parallel- und Vergleichsquellen treten die spezifischen Informationen dieses bislang wenig beachteten Dokumentes zutage. In einer Phase sich wandelnder Herrschaftsverhältnisse im Mittelmeerraum machte der Bericht neues und brauchbares Wissen verfügbar. Er zeugt zudem von einem intensiven Austausch zwischen Muslimen und Christen jenseits religiöser oder kultureller Polemik. Behandelt werden im Buch zudem der politische Kontext, die Funktion des Berichts sowie seine Rezeption während des Fünften Kreuzzuges.
