Synopsis
Dive into the tangled web of Rome’s noble families and their grip on the papacy, from Theophylact to Benedict IX and Gregory VI.
This edition traces how powerful Roman lineages—especially the Tusculan counts and their relatives—shaped events in the church and city. It surveys key figures such as Marozia, Theodora, Alberic II, and the future popes they touched, while weighing how later writers portrayed these memories. The discussion connects official records, monumental houses, and long-standing legends to illuminate a complex chapter of medieval Rome.
- How noble families rose to influence church and state in Rome.
- The roles and relationships of Marozia, Theodora, Alberic, and their kin.
- How chroniclers and documents shaped the story of papal succession.
- Connections between Rome’s architecture, property, and political power.
Ideal for readers of medieval Rome, papal history, and historical interpretation alike.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the papal history of the mid-11th century, focusing on the pontificates of Benedict IX and Gregory VI. These men were key figures in an era of extreme corruption and violence in Rome, and their rivalry for the papacy led to civil war and the eventual intervention of the Holy Roman Emperor. The author draws on a variety of sources, including papal documents, chronicles, and letters to provide a detailed and nuanced account of this tumultuous period.
