# Pope Paschal II

> He held the throne of St. Peter for nearly two decades at the turn of the twelfth century, a span that made him one of the longest-reigning medieval popes - a tenure that bridged the First Crusade's aftermath and the sharpening clash between sacred and imperial power.

## Bio

Born Raniero Raineri di Bleda sometime between 1050 and 1055, he took vows as a monk at the Abbey of Cluny. In 1073 Pope Gregory VII elevated him to cardinal-priest of San Clemente. He rose to the papacy on 19 August 1099, six days after his predecessor Urban II died, and inherited a church still vibrating from the crusade's success. His pontificate stretched almost twenty years - until his death on 21 January 1118 - a run of unusual endurance for the age, outlasting emperors and weathering the pressures that came with ruling both souls and the Papal States.
