The balance of power in northern Italy changed significantly in the latter part of the 1260s, when supporters of the Ghibelline cause permanently lost the dominant position they had enjoyed in many of the region's most important cities. The switch came about in May of 1265, when, at the request of two successive popes, Charles of Anjou, count of Provence and younger brother of King Louis IX of France, sailed to Rome with an army of French knights to take control over the disputed Italian territories from Manfred, the Hohenstaufen claimant to the imperial crown. Charles's decisive victories against the Hohenstaufens in 1267 and 1268 bolstered papal claims in Tuscany and allowed Guelf factions throughout northern Italy to seize power in their cities by violently expelling Ghibelline adherents from their towns.
