Details
Tile Kolup (died July 7, 1285 in Wetzlar, Germany), also known as Dietrich Holzschuh, was an impostor who in 1284 began to pretend to be emperor Frederick II. He took advantage of persistent rumors that the emperor, who had died in 1250, was not really dead and was about to return to put in order the matters of the empire. When Kolup first claimed to be the emperor in 1284 in Cologne, he was laughed at and driven out of the city. He then found strong support in Neuss, and issued his own documents with a fake seal. He joined the enemies of King Rudolph of Habsburg who besieged the city unsuccessfully. In the summer of 1285 Tile Kolup went to Wetzlar where he held court; the origin of the necessary money remains unclear. He even issued privileges under royal seal. Rudolph of Habsburg finally captured him in Wetzlar in the same year and had him burned at the stake.
