The year 1998 was the 800th anniversary of the election of Lotario
dei Conti di Segni as Pope. At 37, he was one of the youngest men
ever to hold that office, and he was to become one of the most
important popes in the entire history of Christianity. Together
with Gregory VII, he was one of the two most important popes of the
Middle Ages. In his efforts to promote Christianity and defend it
from its enemies, Innocent played a role in the history of almost
every part of Europe and its environs. He initiated both the
ill-fated Fourth Crusade, that ended up sacking the Greek Christian
city of Constantinople, and the Albigensian Crusade, that
devastated major parts of Southern France and led to its submission
to the French crown. He promoted the crusades that accomplished the
conquest and conversion of the pagans of the south Baltic coast.
These papers are taken from the interdisciplinary conference, Pope
Innocent III and his World, held in May 1997 at the Hofstra
University Cultural Center, New York.
