# Pope Honorius II

> A medieval power broker who climbed from nowhere to the papacy through raw intellect, then spent six years playing defense - locking in church privileges, blessing the Knights Templar, and losing ground to kings in Sicily and France while rivals nipped at his throne.

## Bio

Born Lamberto Scannabecchi on 9 February 1060, he rose through the church despite humble origins, his mind sharp enough to carry him into the Roman Frangipani family's orbit. His election as pope on 21 December 1124 required force to beat back a rival, Celestine II. Once in, Honorius spent his pontificate shoring up what the Concordat of Worms had won - he became the first pope to confirm a Holy Roman emperor's election - while steering favor toward the Augustinians, Cistercians, and the newly approved Knights Templar in 1128, wary of the old Benedictine power at Monte Cassino and Cluny. He could not contain Roger II's surge in southern Italy or keep Louis VI's hands off the French church. He died 13 February 1130, and the church split immediately: two popes claimed the chair, Innocent II and the antipope Anacletus II.
