Timeline

  1. c. 1090–1124Rome · LazioAppointed cardinal-bishop of Ostia by Pope Paschal II in 1117, he actively participated in the Gregorian reform movement. In 1122 he represented the papacy in negotiating and signing the Concordat of Worms, ending the half-century investiture struggle between the popes and the Holy Roman Emperors, which established his important position in the curia.
  2. 1124–1130Rome · LazioElected pope through a disputed election on 21 December 1124. He strongly supported the spread of the Cistercian and Premonstratensian orders and approved the expansion of Clairvaux Abbey. In 1128 he issued a decree at Benevento formally investing Roger II as Duke of Apulia and Calabria, recognizing Norman rule over southern Italy. He died of illness in Rome on 13 February 1130, and the vacancy of the papal throne sparked a disputed double election, leading to the schism between Innocent II and Anacletus II.
