Honorius II (Lambert of
Ostia),
pope from
1124 to
February 13,
1130. As papal legate he had been one of the framers of the
Concordat of Worms (1122). During his pontificate the
Premonstratensian Order[?], and also that of the
Knights Templar, received papal sanction.
The name of Honorius II had also been assumed in the previous century (1061-64) by Peter Cadalus; but he was never recognised as a legitimate pope.
