Antipope Honorius II proceeds to march on …
Years: 1062 - 1062
Antipope Honorius II proceeds to march on Rome, defeating Alexander II and taking control of St. Peter's Basilica and its environs on April 14, 1062.
The intervention of Godfrey III persuades Honorius II and Alexander II to retire to Parma and Lucca respectively, awaiting mediation between Godfrey III and the Imperial court.
However, Anno II, Archbishop of Cologne, has engineered a coup d'état against the empress regent.
As regent, Anno had convened the Council of Augsburg (October 1062) and sent Burchard II, Bishop of Halberstadt as an envoy to Rome.
Burchard clears Alexander II of charges of simony and recognizes him as the new pontiff.
