Hadrian I
Hadrian I († December 25, 795 in Rome ) was Pope from February 1, 772 until his death .
Life
Hadrian was by Pope Stephen III. ordained to the deacon . He is considered Cardinal Deacon of the Region of Santa Maria in Via Lata .
Fighting the Lombard king Desiderius , to whom he denied a wish to anoint Carloman 's sons kings, Hadrian I turned to the Frankish ruler Charlemagne , who forced Desiderius to retreat. When Charlemagne arrived in Rome at Easter 774, he renewed the promise of a gift made by his father Pepin to Pope Stephen II . In 787 Hadrian's troops conquered the Terracina , which until then had belonged to the Byzantine ducat of Naples - the first papal war of aggression .
From a theological point of view, Hadrian's pontificate is significant because under him in 787 at the Second Council of Nicaea , the veneration of images , which was initiated in 754 by the East Roman Emperor Leo III. had been damned was admitted again. This permission could not prevail in the Frankish kingdom: Charlemagne had the council resolutions (which were only available in bad translations) rejected by the Synod of Frankfurt in 794. At the request of Charlemagne, Hadrian elevated the diocese of Cologne to an archbishopric in 795 .
His pontificate of almost 24 years was to last a millennium, until Pius VI. (1775–1799), remaining the longest in history.
