unusual facts about Pope Gregory IX



Anastasius Germonius

As archdeacon at Turin he was a member of the commission appointed by Pope Clement VIII to edit the Liber Septimus decretalium (later known as the Constitutiones Clementinae); and he also wrote Paratitla on the five books of the Decretals of Gregory IX.

Cardinal protector

The first to hold such an office was Cardinal Ugolino Conti (later Pope Gregory IX), who sought thereby to paralyze the intrigues of his many enemies at Rome; at the request of St. Francis himself, he was named protector of the Franciscans by Pope Innocent III, and again by Honorius III.

Elizabeth of Hungary

After bitter arguments over the disposal of her dowry—a conflict in which Konrad was appointed as the official Defender of her case by Pope Gregory IX—Elizabeth left the court at Wartburg and moved to Marburg in Hesse.

Hospital of St John the Baptist, High Wycombe

The earliest known Master was Brother Gilbert who, in 1236, wrote to Pope Gregory IX in Rome asking for permission to establish a chapel dedicated to St John the Baptist at the hospital.

Medieval university

The University of Paris was formally recognized when Pope Gregory IX issued the bull Parens scientiarum (1231).

Orlová

Thus, it is not clear when the settlement was really founded; however, it was first mentioned in a written document in 1227, in the document of Pope Gregory IX issued for Benedictine abbey in Tyniec.
