Whether 'Duke Frederick of the Germans' is meant to be Frederick, Duke of Swabia, or his father, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, his presence at the time of Richard's arrival (1191) is an anachronism. The Emperor had died en route to the Crusade in Asia Minor. Duke Frederick did arrive with what remained of his father's forces, but died of dysentery, aged 23, in the siege-camp at Acre in January 1191 - some months before Richard landed.
