  • More about Breakspear: The English Pope

The son of a local churchman near St Albans, Nicholas Breakspear was elected pope in 1154 and faced challenges from Frederick Barbarossa. R.A.J. Waddingham opens the archives to tell his story, which has been forgotten ever since.

Nicholas Breakspear, the only pope from England in over 2,000 years of Christianity, was elected in 1154 and faced numerous challenges throughout his life. Born to a local churchman near St Albans, he would travel across Europe to defend and develop Christianity, facing turmoil in Scandinavia and the Moors in the Iberian Peninsula. However, his greatest threat came after he took the Throne of St Peter as Adrian IV, when he faced Frederick Barbarossa, who was determined to restore the Holy Roman Empire to its former greatness. In Breakspear: The English Pope Who Went to War, R.A.J. Waddingham opens the archives to tell the story of a man who rose from humble beginnings to glorious power and yet has been all but forgotten ever since.
