I would’ve also gone with that cause while I don’t recall the exact year of the second crusade, Barbarossa was the emperor for both the 2nd and 3rd crusade (well was gonna be until a certain body of water)

If they’re ‘excommunicated’, it’s usually a Staufen :) —it’s a badge of honor, and really ends up being an admission by the papacy that the emperor is actually beyond its power and reach, which dooms by the time when Philip IV comes for Boniface VIII.
Clearly Barbarossa though.
