picture info	Pope Gregory IV Pope Gregory IV ( la, Gregorius IV; died 25 January 844) was the bishop of Rome and ruler of the Papal States from October 827 to his death. His pontificate was notable for the papacy’s attempts to intervene in the quarrels between Emperor Louis the Pious and his sons. It also saw the breakup of the Carolingian Empire in 843. Rise to papacy The son of a Roman patrician called John, Gregory was apparently an energetic but mild churchman, renowned for his learning. Consecrated a priest during the pontificate of Pope Paschal I, at the time of Pope Valentine’s death in 827, Gregory was the cardinal priest of the Basilica of St Mark in Rome. Like his predecessor, Gregory was nominated by the nobility, and the electors unanimously agreed that he was the most worthy to become the bishop of Rome. They found him at the Basilica of Saints Cosmas and Damian where, despite his protestations, he was taken and installed at the Lateran Palace, after which he was enthroned as pope-elect so ...

	Gregory IV Of Naples Gregory IV (died 915) was the firstborn son of Duke Sergius II of Naples and successor of his paternal uncle, Bishop Athanasius, in 898, when he was elected ''dux'', or ''magister militum'', unanimously by the aristocracy. His other paternal uncle, Stephen, succeeded Athanasius as bishop. According to the ''Chronicon ducum et principum Beneventi, Salerni, et Capuae et ducum Neapolis'', he reigned for sixteen years and eight months. The Mezzogiorno in his time was under constant Saracen assaults. Around 900, Gregory destroyed the ''castrum Lucullanum'', a Neapolitan fortress just outside the city, to prevent the Muslims from taking it as a base. Otherwise, he reinforced the city walls and stored supplies to ensure survival in the event of a long siege. According to the much later chronicler Leo of Ostia, he signed a pact with the prince of Benevento and Capua, Atenulf, and the Amalfitans and attacked and defeated the Saracens. On 2 July 911, he signed another ''pactum'' with Atenul ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Gregory IV The Young Gregory IV Dgha ("the Child", or "the Young") was the Catholicos of the Armenian Apostolic Church from 1173 to 1193. Despite his nickname, he was around forty when he assumed the role of Catholicos. When Nerses IV the Gracious died, he attempted to pass the diocese onto the younger of his two nephews, but the older - Gregory - enjoyed the support of Prince Mleh and was thus able to obtain the Catholicos' seat. He continued the policies of his uncles Nerses and Gregory in seeking accommodations with other Christian churches. This position was resisted by monastic communities in various Muslim-ruled parts of Armenia who were more strictly anti-Chalcedonian, and negotiations with the Byzantine Greeks mostly broke down after the death of Manuel I Komnenos. In the 1180s he turned to seeking conciliation with the Papacy, including sending an envoy to Pope Lucius III Pope Lucius III (c. 1097 – 25 November 1185), born Ubaldo Allucingoli, reigned from 1 September 1181 to his dea ...

	Patriarch Gregory IV Of Constantinople Gregory IV ( el, ) was Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople for two months in 1623. Life Before he was elected as Patriarch of Constantinople, Gregory IV was Metropolitan of Amasya. At the time of his election, he was old and blind in one eye, and so he was given the sobriquet ''Stravoamaseias'' ( el, ), i.e. ''the blind of Amasya''. His short reign has to be considered in the context of the clash between the pro-Calvinist Patriarch Cyril Lucaris, supported by the Protestant Dutch and English ambassadors to the Ottoman capital, and his opponents supported by the Catholic French, Austrian and Venetian ambassadors. The latter were successful at persuading the Grand Vizier to depose Cyril Lucaris on 12 April 1623 and to appoint in his place Gregory IV, the head of the pro-Western faction. Eugenia Kermeli reports, "In 1623, the metropolitan of Amaseia Gregory promised he French ambassadorCécy to appoint metropolitans friendly to Rome in case he was elected." Gregory IV pr ...
