history

Jenne was first mentioned in a charter from Pope Leo IX. (1049–54) mentioned, who confirmed the possession of a fund of Gehenna to Subiaco Abbey . On a memorial stone in the Abbey of Santa Scolastica in Subiaco from 1052 a Castrum Jennarorum is listed among their possessions .

In 1079 Ildemondo dei Conti occupied the place and the castle at the head of a Norman army. In 1113 Abbot Giovanni from Subiaco gave the place as a fief to his relative Crescenzo, the bishop of Alatri . He was followed in 1176 by Filippo di Marano, the first lords of Jenne, and great-grandfather of Rinaldo II von Jenne, who later became Pope Alexander IV. His successor, Rinaldo III. von Jenne finally had to cede his property to Cardinal Francesco Caetani in 1300.

In 1639 Urban VIII gave the place back to the Abbey in Subiaco.
