§ 145. Two Popes are next chosen: (the 26th Schism) 1. Gregory called Innocent the 2d. 2. Peter called Anacletus. Onuphrius: Panuinus saith, that Innocent had but 17 Cardinals Votes,1 and Anaclet had 21. And yet Innocent being the stronger, is by them taken now for the true Pope, and the Succession is from him.

§ 146. Pope Innocent presently becometh a Soldier, and gets an Army to fight with Roger Prince of Sicily, for claiming Apulia: The Pope and Cardinals at the second Battle are taken Prisoners, by the coming of William Duke of Calabria to help his Father. Roger gently releaseth them: They come to ⟨p. 380⟩Rome, and find Pope Anaclet in possession; who got Roger of Sicily, and the People of Rome that were for Innocent, to be for him, (saith Platina.) Innocent dares not stay, but goeth into France; thence into Germany, where Henry being dead, and Lotharius made Emperor, the Pope got him to swear to help him: The Emperor and Pope come against Rome with two Armies. The Anti-Pope Anacletus is not to be seen; till the Emperor was gone home, and Innocent at Pisa, and then he appeareth as Pope again. Lotharius cometh with another Army, and driveth away Anacletus, and Roger of Apulia into Sicily.
