Dive into the tangled web of Rome’s noble families and their grip on the papacy, from Theophylact to Benedict IX and Gregory VI.
This edition traces how powerful Roman lineages—especially the Tusculan counts and their relatives—shaped events in the church and city. It surveys key figures such as Marozia, Theodora, Alberic II, and the future popes they touched, while weighing how later writers portrayed these memories. The discussion connects official records, monumental houses, and long-standing legends to illuminate a complex chapter of medieval Rome.
Ideal for readers of medieval Rome, papal history, and historical interpretation alike.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the papal history of the mid-11th century, focusing on the pontificates of Benedict IX and Gregory VI. These men were key figures in an era of extreme corruption and violence in Rome, and their rivalry for the papacy led to civil war and the eventual intervention of the Holy Roman Emperor. The author draws on a variety of sources, including papal documents, chronicles, and letters to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this tumultuous period. By placing this conflict in the context of the broader history of the papacy, this book sheds new light on the complex interplay of religious and political power in medieval Europe.
