      pope from 1124 to 1130.

      Made cardinal bishop of Ostia (1117) by Pope Paschal II, he became Pope Calixtus II's emissary to Germany. At the Concordat of Worms (Worms, Concordat of) (1122) he helped to end the investiture controversy, a conflict flourishing in the 11th and 12th centuries over whether the papacy or the Holy Roman emperor had the right to appoint the clergy to clerical offices. In the conclave to elect Calixtus' successor, the choice of Honorius was challenged by a faction supporting Cardinal Teobaldo Buccapeco (Antipope Celestine II). When Honorius offered to resign, the cardinals renewed his election (Dec. 20, 1124).

      His pontificate achieved reform within the church and peace between the Holy See and world rulers. Honorius supported the election of Count Lothar (Lothar II (or III)) II/III of Supplinburg as the German king (1125). He ensured amicable relations with Lothar by excommunicating Lothar's rival, Conrad of Hohenstaufen (later the German king Conrad III). When Count Roger II of Sicily and Calabria (later king of Sicily) had himself created duke of Apulia, Honorius raised a league of cities and barons in rebellion against Roger, who defeated Honorius' army and forced the pope to invest him as duke in return for his oath of fealty. Honorius' death was followed by a schism in which Roger supported Antipope Anacletus II against Honorius' successor, Innocent II.
