Antipope Innocent III

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Innocent III (Lanzo of Sezza) was an antipope during 1179 to 1180.

INNOCENT III. (Lando da Sezza), antipope (1179-1180), sprang from a noble Lombard family. Opponents of Alexander III. tried to make him pope in September 1179. Alexander, however, bribed his partisans to give him up, and imprisoned him in the cloister of La Cava in January 1180.
