Innocent III (c. 1161–1216)

Pope from 1198. He asserted papal power over secular princes, in particular over the succession of Holy Roman emperors. He also made King John of England his vassal, compelling him to accept Stephen Langton as archbishop of Canterbury. He promoted the fourth Crusade and crusades against the non-Christian Livonians and Letts, and the Albigensian heretics of southern France.
