	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Martin IV
		Though he was only the second pope by the name of Martin he is generally known as Martin IV, because since the beginning of the thirteenth century the Popes Marinus I (882-4) and Marinus II (941-6) were listed among the Martins.
		Unable to go to Rome where a pope of French nationality was hated, and unwilling to stay at Viterbo which was under interdict because it had imprisoned two cardinals, Martin IV went to Orvieto where he was crowned on 23 March.
		Among the seven cardinals created by Martin IV was Benedetto Gaetano, who afterwards ascended the papal throne as the famous Boniface VIII.

	Martin IV, d. 1285, pope. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In supporting the design of Charles of Anjou (see Charles I) to restore the Latin Empire of Constantinople, and in his excommunication of Byzantine Emperor Michael VIII, Martin sacrificed (1281) the recent union of East and West made at Lyons (1274).
		Martin adopted the title Martin IV because it was believed then that the two popes named Marinus were named Martin.
		He is actually only the second pope named Martin.

	Patron Saints Index: Pope Urban IV
		Chosen Patriarch of Jerusalem by Pope Alexander IV in 1255.
		Fearing a popular uprising against a French pope, he never went to Rome.
		He created fourteen new cardinals, including the future popes, Clement IV, Martin IV, and Honorius IV; these appointments insured that the Sacred College firmly supported him, but gave it a French influence that would last over a century.
