Gregory IX (1147–1241)

Pope from 1227. He excommunicated Frederick II for refusing to take part in the crusades, absolved him in 1230, but again excommunicated him in 1239. The emperor marched on Rome in 1241, but Gregory died before the siege began. He laid down rules for the punishment of heretics and systematized the Inquisition. He was born at Anagni, and studied at Paris and Bologna.

His letters were published as Monumenta Germaniae historica (1883).
