Savelli, Luca

Savelli, Luca

▪ Roman senator
died 1266

      Roman senator who in 1234 led a revolution against Pope Gregory IX to further the commercial interests of the Roman middle class.

      A member of a prominent family and nephew of Pope Honorius III, Savelli became senator (head of the municipal government) in 1234. He immediately declared Tuscany and Campania (the area around Naples), as well as many cities in church territory, to be under the jurisdiction of the commune of Rome and demanded that the pope pay an annual tribute. The pope and his cardinals fled to Rieti near Rome, while the rebels sacked the papal palace and the houses of the cardinals. From Rieti, Gregory appealed for aid to the rulers of Europe and unexpectedly received it from his former enemy, the Holy Roman emperor, Frederick II. Papal and imperial troops marched on Viterbo, recovering the Sabina, the area north of Rome, and Tuscany. The defeated Romans continued their rebellion, but in the spring of 1235 Savelli was removed from office, and his successor once more recognized the pope's sovereignty. No reprisals were taken against Savelli, whose son eventually became Pope Honorius IV.
