Pope Innocent II |
 | | In the East, Innocent II curbed the pretension to independence on the part of William, Patriarch of Jerusalem and of Raoul, Patriarch of Antioch (Hergenröther, II, 410). |
 | | Innocent II is said to have given him dispensation from his vows, though others claim that this is a calumny spread by the enemies of the pope (Damberger, "Weltgeschichte ", VIII, 202). |
 | | Innocent II is praised by all, especially by St. Bernard, as a man of irreproachable character. |
