After Honorius, next in the same usurpation succeeded Pope Innocentius 2.1 an. 1130. But as it was with his predecessors before him, that at every mutation of new Popes, came new perturbations, and commonly never a Pope was elected, but some other was set up against him, (sometimes 2. sometimes 3. Popes together) so likewise it happened with this Innocentius: for after he was chosen, the Romans elected another pope named Anacletus. Betwixt these two Popes was much ado, and great conflicts through the partaking of Rogerius Duke of Sicily, taking Anacletus part against Innocentius,2 until Locharius the Emperor came, who rescuing Innocentius, drove Rogerius out of Italy. Our stories record, that king Henry was one of the great helps in setting up and maintaining this Pope Innocentius against Anacletus, Gisburnens.
