ADRIAN II

This article appears in Volume V01, Page 215 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ADA-AIZ
ADRIAN II .,
pope
  from 867 to 872, was a member of a noble Roman family, and became
pope
  in 867, at an advanced age. He maintained, but with less energy, the attitude of his predecessor. Rid of the affair of Lothair; king of
Lorraine
 , by the death of that prince (869), he endeavoured in vain to mediate between the Frankish princes with a view to assuring to the emperor, Louis II., the heritage of the king of
Lorraine
 . Photius, shortly after the council in which he had pronounced sentence of deposition against Pope Nicholas, was driven from the patriarchate by a new emperor, Basil the Macedonian, who favoured his rival
Ignatius
 . An oecumenical council (called by the Latins the 8th) was convoked at
Constantinople
  to decide this matter. At this council Adrian was represented by legates, who presided at the condemnation of Photius, but did not succeed in coming to an understanding with
Ignatius
  on the subject of the
jurisdiction
  over the Bulgarian converts. Like his predecessor Nicholas, Adrian II. was forced to submit, at least in temporal affairs, to the tutelage of the emperor, Louis IL, who placed him under the surveillance of Arsenius,
bishop
  of Orta, his confidential adviser, and Arsenius's son
Anastasius
 ; the librarian. Adrian had married in his youth, and his wife and daughter were still living. They were carried off and assassinated by
Anastasius
 's brother,
Eleutherius
 , whose reputation, however, suffered but a momentary eclipse. Adrian died in 872.
