He was, by inheritance, an imperial vassal, but Pope Adrian IV granted him the papal property the great fortress in Tusculum and invested him as a papal vassal as well. He swore homage on 9 July 1155 to the pope excepto contra Imperatorem &mdash except against the emperor. In turn, he surrendered Montisfortini and Velletri Faiola to the papacy. The Commune of Rome Senate of Rome , however, refused to ratify the grant of the fortress to the count. In 1163, he was invested with the port of Torre Astura Astura , which his father had illegally held from the church, by the abbot of S. Alessio.

The Commune of Rome Senate of Rome , however, refused to ratify the grant of the fortress to the count. In 1167, Raino appears for the first time as sole count.

  1. Ptolemy of Cyprus

    Ptolemy of Cyprus was the king of Cyprus c. 80 58 BC. He was the younger brother of Ptolemy XII Auletes , king of Ptolemaic Kingdom Egypt , and, like him, an illegitimate son of Ptolemy IX Lathyros . He appears to have been acknowledged king of Cyprus at the same time that his brother Auletes obtained the possession of the throne of Egypt, 80 BC. He neglected the precaution of obtaining confirmation of his sovereignty at Rome , and made the additional error of offending Publius Clodius Pulcher , by failing to ransom him when he had fallen into the hands of Cilicia n pirates. ref Strabo, xiv. Appian, B. C. , ii. 23 ref When Clodius became tribune 58 BC , he enacted a law to deprive Ptolemy of his kingdom, and reduce Cyprus to a Roman province . Cato the Younger Cato , who was entrusted with carrying out this decree, advised Ptolemy to submit, offering him his personal safety, with the office of high priest at Paphos and a generous pension. Ptolemy refused, and, wholly unprepared to resist Roman power and deciding to die a king, put an end to his own life, 58 BC. ref Strabo, xiv. Dio Cassius , xxxviii. 30, xxxix. 22 Livy, Epit. civ.

After Amyntas death, he began a liaison with his widow, Eurydice I of Macedon Eurydice . In 368, he assassinated her son, his predecessor Alexander II of Macedon Alexander II in order to gain control of the throne.
