Jordanus (cardinal)

Jordanus (also erroneously Giordano Bobone Orsini ; † after 1154 or 1165 in Rome ) was a cardinal of the Roman Church .

Life

Jordanus belonged to the Carthusian community. Pope Lucius II created him in December 1144 or 1145 as a cardinal deacon of a title deaconry and Pope Eugene III. raised him on December 21, 1145 to cardinal priest of Santa Susanna . It has been suggested that he was a member of the Roman Orsini family , but recent research suggests that he was likely French. Between March 8, 1145 and 1151 he was the Camerlengo of the Holy Roman Church under Pope Eugene III. Between January 9, 1145 and June 11, 1154 he signed papal privileges in the Subscriptio . After this date it is no longer verifiable in the cardinal signatures of papal privileges.

Jordanus was described by John of Salisbury as stingy and his clothing was characterized by strict simplicity. When he and Octavian of Santa Cecilia were sent to Germany as a papal legate to protect King Conrad III. to escort him to Rome for the coronation , he quarreled with Octavian and made the church ridiculous.

He participated in the 1153 papal election and possibly the 1154 papal election . The date of his death is unclear.
