  Pope Silvester III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Silvester III, né John of Crescenzi – Ottaviani family (born in Rome; probably died in 1062 or 1063); was Pope in 1045.
When Pope Benedict IX (1032–44, 1045, 1047–48) was driven from Rome in September, 1044, John, bishop of Sabina, was elected after fierce and protracted infighting and took the title of Silvester III in January 1045.
While the right of Silvester III to be considered an authentic Pope is open to some question, and some consider him to have been an antipope, he continues to be listed as an official Pope in Vatican lists.

The latter on receipt of this news again entered Rome on March 21, 1084, and succeeded in gaining possession of the greater part of the city and besieged the Pope in the Castle of Sant' Angelo, while, on March 24, Guibert was enthroned as pope in the church of St.
Victor III, who was elected after a prolonged vacancy caused by the critical position of the Church in Rome, was compelled, eight days after his coronation in St. Peter's on May 3, 1087, to fly from Rome before the partisans of Guibert.
Clement was notoriously regarded as the champion of the simoniacal and anti-celibacy and pro-clerical concubinage party, although he went through the notions of legislating against these abuses, and, through the leeway he granted the cardinals supporting him, contributed to the development of the College of Cardinals.

 Pope Sergius III - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Sergius III, scion of Benedictus, of a noble Roman family, reigned in two intervals between 897 and April 14, 911, during a period of feudal violence and disorder in central Italy, where the Papacy was a pawn of warring aristocratic factions.
Sergius III owed his rise to the power of his patron, the military commander Theophylact, Count of Tusculum who held the position of vestarius in control of the disbursements at the top of papal patronage.
Elected Pope in 897, Sergius III was forcibly exiled by Lambert, duke of Spoleto, and all the official records were destroyed; consequently most of the surviving documentation about Sergius comes from his opponents.

 Antipope Clement VIII Information
Clement VIII was one of the antipopes of the Avignon line, reigning from 10 June 1423 to 26 July 1429.
He was a friend and advisor of the future antipope Benedict XIII, and member of the Avignon curia.
In the summer of 1423 Alfonso persuaded the Republic of Siena to acknowledge Clement VIII, thus securing recognition for the pope of the Avignon line in the very city, Pavia, which was part of the Republic of Siena, where the Roman pope Martin V had convened an ecumencial council of the Church.

 Antipope John XXIII Information
Antipope John XXIII, antipope of the Pisan party (1410–1415), (about 1370 – November 22, 1419), was born as Baldassare Cossa.
Cardinal Baldassare Cossa was one of the seven cardinals who, in May of 1408, deserted Pope Gregory XII, and, with those belonging to the obedience of Antipope Benedict XIII, convened the Council of Pisa, of which Cossa became the leader.
The North American student fraternity Kappa Sigma claims that its origins stem from Cossa's governorship of Bologna, where his campaign of assault and robbery against the students of the University of Bologna led to a secret organization under the teacher Manuel Chrysoloras for mutual protection against Cossa's brigands.

 Antipope_Peter_II   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Antipope Peter II According to Roman Catholic tradition, the Apostle Saint Peter is considered the first Pope (said to have been installed by Jesus Christ, by giving him the very name as 'the rock on which I will build my church'), and no other officially recognized Pope since has used that name.
The choice of this regnal name by these antipopes indicates that their sects believe that they are now in the End times.
Note that this is not the same as the Tribulation (which is a feature primarily of Dispensationalist theology), as orthodox Catholic theology is broadly amillennialist, and teaches that the reign of Christ began at Calvary and has not ended (nor will it).

The Emperor Otto III (985-96) was still a child, and the empress mother, Theophano, although an energetic princess, was absent from Rome.
A few weeks afterwards Otto III himself was crowned in Rome by the new pope (21 May) in the basilica of St. Peter.
The emperor and Pope Silvester II (999-1003), the first pope of French nationality, were compelled to flee; it is quite likely that John Crescentius was the prime mover of the rebellion.

Antipope Clement VII was excommunicated, and designated the Antichrist; twenty-six new cardinals were created in a single day, and by an arbitrary alienation of the estates and property of the church, funds were raised for open war.

John XVII (died November 6, 1003), born né Sicco, was a native of Rome who succeeded Pope Silvester II (999–1003) as Pope on June 13, 1003, but died less than five months later.
John XVII was nominated to the papacy by John Crescentius, a Roman noble who held power in the city in opposition to Emperor Otto III (983–1002).
John XVI (997–998) was an antipope, according to conventional wisdom, and thus his regnal number XVI should have been reused.

Henry V retaliated by disavowing the concordat and had Paschal thrown in prison along with the reform cardinals and elevated the antipope Silvester IV For two months they languished in prison outside Rome, until Henry summoned Paschal with a proposal to reinstate the Pope if he went along with all Henry V asked.
Beaten and battered in heart and soul, Paschal made one last attempt in early January of 1118 to wrest the papacy back, but he was too weak and ill and the continued strife of rebellion forced him into solitary at Castel Sant'Angelo where he died on January 21, 1118.
