Papal Election, 1144
The 1144 papal election followed the death of Pope Celestine II and resulted in the election of Pope Lucius II. Election of Lucius II Pope Celestine II died on 8 March 1144 at Rome, after a pontificate of only five months. The election of his successor took place in the shadow of this municipal revolution, which opposed the secular rule of the Pope. Celestine II was unable to recover full control over the city of Rome; in addition he had to face also the demands of the king Roger II of Sicily.See Robinson, p. 387 This problem remained unresolved on his death, because he had refused to confirm the privileges granted to Roger by his predecessor Innocent II. The cardinals present at Rome elected Cardinal Gherardo Caccianemici, priest of the '' titulus'' of S. Croce in Gerusalemme and former canon regular of S. Frediano di Lucca.

The word in English may refer to any of various clergy, depending upon the usage of the particular church in question. Eastern Orthodox and Eastern Catholic churches Protodeacon is an honorific rank given to certain married deacons in Eastern Christian churches. In the Russian Orthodox Church it is an honorary title given to married deacons, as a mark of which, the clergyman is entitled to wear a burgundy-colored skufia.

Guido Florentinus
Guido is a given name. It has been a male first name in Italy, Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Argentina, the Low Countries, Scandinavia, Spain, Portugal and Latin America, as well as other places with migration from those. Regarding origins, there are most likely homonymous forms of it, that is, from several etymological predecessors but now seeming to be the same name. One of the likely homonyms is Germanic ''Guido'' representing the Latinisation from the Old High German name ''Wido'', which meant "wood" (that is, "forest"). Another likely homonym is the Italian ''Guido'' from a latinate root for "guide". The third likely homonym is the Italian ''Guido'' with phonetic correspondence to Latin '' Vitus'', whereas the Latin ''v'' (/w/), the Latin ''i'' (/iː/), and the terminal syllable ''-tus'' have predictable homology with the Italian /u/, /iː/, and ''-do''. Thus, for example, Saint Vitus has also been known in Italian as Guido. The slang term ''Guido'' is used in American cultu ...
