Notizen zu dieser Person

Pope Gregory V, né Bruno of Carinthia (Latin: Gregorius PP. V, Italian: Gregorio V; c. 972 - 18 February 999) was the head of the Catholic Church from 3 May 996 to his death in 999. Biography He was a son of the Salian Otto I, Duke of Carinthia, who was a grandson of the Emperor Otto I the Great. Gregory V succeeded Pope John XV when only twenty-four years of age. He was the chaplain of his cousin Emperor Otto III, who presented him as candidate. Gregory V was the first German Pope.[1] Sometimes Pope Boniface II (530-532) is considered the first German Pope, although he was in fact an Ostrogoth. Politically, Gregory V acted consistently as the Emperor's representative in Rome and granted many exceptional privileges to monasteries within the Holy Roman Empire. One of his first acts was to crown Otto III Emperor on 21 May 996.[2] Together, they held a synod a few days after the coronation in which Arnulf, Archbishop of Reims, was ordered to be restored to his See of Reims, and Gerbert of Aurillac, the future Pope Silvester II, was condemned as an intruder. Robert II of France, who had been insisting on his right to appoint bishops, was ultimately forced to back down, and ultimately also to put aside his wife Bertha, by the rigorous enforcement of a sentence of excommunication on the kingdom.[3] Until the conclusion of the council of Pavia in 997, Gregory V had a rival in the person of the antipope John XVI (997-998), whom Crescentius II and the nobles of Rome had chosen against the will of the youthful Emperor Otto III, Gregory's cousin. The revolt of Crescentius II was decisively suppressed by the Emperor, who marched upon Rome. John XVI fled, and Crescentius II shut himself up in the Castel Sant'Angelo. The Emperor's troops pursued the antipope, captured him, cut off his nose and ears, cut out his tongue, blinded him, and publicly degraded him before Otto III and Gregory V.[4] He was sent to the monastery of Fulda in Germany, where he lived until 1013. The Castel Sant'Angelo was besieged, and when it was taken in 998, Crescentius II was hanged upon its walls. Gregory V died suddenly, not without suspicion of foul play, on 18 February 999. He is buried in St. Peter's Basilica near Pope Pelagius I. His successor was Gerbert, who took the name Silvester II. References ^ Richard P.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Another version: Pope Gregory V, original name Brun von Kaernten, English Bruno of Carinthia, from 996 to 999, the first German pope, whose pontificate was among the most turbulent in history. Grandson of the Holy Roman emperor Otto I the Great, he was the young cousin and chaplain to Otto III, who named him pope (consecrated May 3, 996). On May 21, 996, Gregory crowned Otto III emperor. He anathematized King Robert II the Pious of France for his marriage (996), considered technically incestuous, to Bertha, countess of Blois (they were first cousins, who, in the Roman Catholic Church, may not marry). When Otto was called back to Germany, a powerful noble named Crescentius II stirred a revolt in Rome that forced Gregory to flee (autumn of 996) and installed John XVI as antipope (997). When Otto returned (998), a reign of terror ensued: John was deposed and mutilated, Crescentius was executed, and Gregory V was reinstated as pope (998). http://en.wikipedia.org
