Savelli
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rich and influential Roman family of the Savelli provided four popes, Benedict II (684–685), Gregory II (715–731), Honorius III (1216–27), the senator Luca Savelli, who sacked the Lateran in 1234, and the senator's son, Honorius IV (1285-87). The family, the signori of Palombrara Sabina, took their name from the rocca of Sabellum, near Albano, which belonged to the counts of Tusculum before it passed to the Savelli.
