Gelasius II

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

Gelasius II (born c. 1058)

Pope 1118–19, successor to Pascal II. Driven from Rome by the Holy Roman Emperor Henry V, who created an antipope (Gregory VIII), Gelasius took refuge in France, where he inaugurated a policy of alliance with the Capetians, and died at Cluny.

Gelasius was a monk at Monte Cassino, born in Gaeta. He was appointed cardinal deacon and chancellor in 1088, and then became adviser to Paschal II, being chosen to succeed him by the opponents of Henry V.
