When Lotario di Segni, who took the name Innocent III, was elected pope in 1198, it was immediately clear that he would be dominating in his role as supreme pontiff. His intent was to effectively reign as spiritual leader over millions of Catholics and, even more vigorously, use the powers of the Church to control the ruling houses of Europe. He wa...
King John, who reigned from 1199 to 1216, is viewed by most historians as an ineffectual leader because of his inability to get along with his subjects and with other European leaders. He was ill-tempered and stubborn, especially when it came to dealing with the expanding influence of Pope Innocent III. It is alleged that John didn’t practice his C...
Clearly, this was a precedent-setting attempt by the pope and, if successful, the most important religious position outside Rome would forever serve at the inclination of the Holy See. It seemed to John that the archbishop of Canterbury should be acceptable and responsible to the king, not a Vatican-appointed delegate who lived in England but was r...
At the threat of an interdict, King John flew into a rage, threatening the life and livelihood of every clergyman in the country.

After his early education in Rome, he traveled north in the late 1170s or 1180 to study in Paris, the leading centre of theological studies. Although little is known about his stay in Paris, what is known is suggestive. His teachers, Peter of Corbeil and Peter the Chanter, were the most accomplished theologians in Europe.
Pope Innocent III was born with the given (anglicized) name of Lothar to parents Count Trasimund of Segni and Claricia dei Scotti. Lothar’s education began in Rome likely in the Schola Cantorum. Following this education, he went to study in Paris the primary city for theological studies of the day.
His education, begun in Rome, was completed at Paris and Bologna. Returning to Rome, he was made canon of St. Peter, and, by the aid of his relatives among the cardinals, rapidly mounted the ecclesiastical stairs.
