Peter of Benevento
Peter of Benevento[1] (died in September 1219 or 1220) was an Italian canon lawyer, papal legate and Cardinal[2].
He was closely associated with Pope Innocent III, and produced in 1209/10[3] a collection of his decretals, the Compilatio tertia, as an active editor[4] and competing with that of Bernard of Pavia.[5].
He was sent in 1214 by Innocent to Provence, and there presided over the 1215 Council of Montpellier, directed against the Albigensians and empowering Simon de Montfort.[6] From there he took James I of Aragon to Catalonia.[7]
