Giordano Pierleoni

Giordano Pierleoni was a member of the powerful Roman Pierleoni family and brother of the antipope Anacletus II. After the citizens of Rome rose against papal rule in 1143–1144 and revived the Senate on the Capitoline, he was named patrician, head of the new commune. He was soon displaced as the popes negotiated with the Senate.
