Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pope Adrian IV: A Friend of Ireland From the Analecta Juris Pontificii; A Magazine on Theology, Canon Law, Liturgy, and History Pope Adrian Iv. was the only Englishman that ever sat in the Chair of Peter. His original name was Nicholas Breakspeare, and he was born (we may suppose in the early part of the twelfth century) at Langley, near St. Alban´s, in Hertfordshire. He was inured to hardships from his youth, for his parents were of lowly condition. The history of his career, from a state of extreme poverty to the highest dignity in the world, that of Supreme Pontiff, is so fully sketched by his Eminence Cardinal Moran in Document No. 1 of the Appendix at the end of this book, that the matter need not be repeated here. As is usual in such cases there are always a few points of difference among historians. For instance, some say that it was in Paris the young Nicholas studied under Marianus, an Irishman. Others say that his mother survived him, and received alms from the Church of Canterbury. But these are matters which need not detain us at present. What is certain is that Pope Adrian IV. was a staunch defender of ecclesiastical rights, so that he did not hesitate to curb the pride even of a fierce Barbarossa. This is the man who has been so long calumniated as one of the greatest of Ireland´s enemies. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
