Gregorio della Suburra

Gregorio della Suburra (* in Rome ; † around 1162 ) was an Italian cardinal .

Life

Gregorio, nicknamed Centu, came from Rome, from the Suburra district and was related to the aristocratic Capocci family. It is often said that he was the nephew of Anastasius IV , but this cannot be proven.

On March 1, 1140 at the latest, Pope Innocent II appointed him cardinal priest of S. Maria in Trastevere (S. Callisto); as such he signed papal documents from April 29, 1140 to June 25, 1154. In 1153 he took part in the negotiations for the Constance Treaty between Pope Eugene III. and King Friedrich I. participated.

Between June 25 and September 15, 1154 he was raised by Anastasius IV to Cardinal Bishop of Sabina . He took part in the conflicting papal election in September 1159 and took the side of Alexander III. Under this Pope he appears as cardinal dean (the first among cardinal bishops) and papal vicar in Rome. It was last recorded on September 20, 1162 and probably died in the same year.

8. ↑ The last signature as cardinal priest of S. Maria in Trastevere, see Jaffé, II, p. 89. According to Jaffé, II, p. 720, and Brixius, p. 42 No. 14, Cardinal Gregor of S. Maria in Trastevere should still sign a privilege on April 19, 1155; however, this document is recognized as a forgery, cf. Paul Fridolin Kehr Roman analects , sources and research from Italian archives and libraries, Rome 1907, p. 15 ff. (Kehr states that this privilege was dated April 18, 1155; however, it is without a doubt about the same document)
9. ^ The first signature as Cardinal Bishop: Jaffé, II, p. 719; Brixius, p. 57 No. 1 (in Zenker p. 51, not taken into account)
10. ↑ The identity of the cardinal priest with the cardinal bishop emerges expressly from the text of the renewal of the Treaty of Constance (January 1155): Hec est concordie forma et conventionis inter dominum papam Eugenium et dominum Fridericum Romanorum imperatorem constituta mediante domino Gregorio tunc Sancte Marie Transtiberopo, nunc Sabinensi ... ( Monumenta Germaniae Historica, DD FI No. 98, p. 166). Brixius, p. 42 no. 14 and p. 57 no. 1, unaware of this evidence, erroneously assumes that the cardinal priest and cardinal bishop were two different people. From April 20 to 25, 1154, the papal privileges were signed by a Cardinal Gregorius, who was at the same time cardinal deacon and elect of Sabina (Jaffé, II, p. 89) and, according to Brixius, p. 57 No. 1 with the one from September 1154 to 1162 occupied Cardinal Bishop of Sabina should be identical. This identification is not justified with regard to the document listed above, cf. Zenker, p. 48 ff.
