It's basically a high-aristocrat dialectic (pope vs. emperor), but the Ghibellines are definitely the less evil group as they don't serve the pope and were far more German/Scandinavian than Roman/Romano-jewish. The entire justification for the Guelphs' opposition was that the pope, like the Habsburgs (also Guelphs) took over western Rome. The document used was the Donation of Constantine, which was fake, it was just forged by the pope to gain legitimacy.
