  Gregory VII - LoveToKnow Watches
Hildebrand (the future pope) would seem to have been born in Tuscany - perhaps Raovacum - early in the third decade of the 11th century.

The communication of these decisions to the pope was undertaken by the priest Roland of Parma, and he was fortunate enough to gain an opportunity for speech in the synod, which had barely assembled in the Lateran church, and there to deliver his message announcing the dethronement of the pontiff.

The reign of Nicholas II (1059-61) was distinguished by events which exercised a potent influence on the policy of the Curia during the next two decades -- the rapprochement with the Normans in the south of Italy, and the alliance with the democratic and, subsequently, anti-German movement of the Patarenes in the north.

A far-reaching act of this council was the transfer of the election of a pope to the "cardinal-bishops" and "cardinal-clergy."15  At the pope’s death the initiative was to be taken by the cardinal-bishops.
