Philip of Swabia is elected King of Germany on March 8, 1198. by a group of pro-Hohenstaufen princes following the death of his brother, Henry VI. A rival faction elected Otto IV on June 9, 1198, leading to a contested and prolonged civil war over the throne. Philip was ultimately crowned in Aachen in 1205 after gaining more support, and his reign continued until his assassination in 1208.
