Editing Pope Innocent II (section)

==Legacy==
In 1134, Innocent elevated as [[cardinal-nephew]] his nephew, [[Gregorio (cardinal)|Gregorio Papareschi]]. He did the same for his brother [[Pietro Papareschi]], whom he made cardinal in 1142. Another nephew, Cinthio Capellus (died 1182), was also a cardinal, raised to the cardinalate in 1158, after Innocent's death.{{sfn|Duggan|2000|p=277}}

Aside from the complete rebuilding of the ancient church of [[Santa Maria in Trastevere]], which boldly features Ionic capitals from former colonnades in the [[Baths of Caracalla]] and other richly detailed ''spolia'' from Roman monuments,{{sfn|Kinney|1986|p=379-397}} the remaining years of Innocent's life were almost as barren of permanent political results as the first had been. In the Lateran palace, he had a portrait painted depicting Lothar's oath to preserve the privileges of the city of Rome.{{sfn|Morris|1989|p=187}} Innocent's efforts to undo the mischief wrought in Rome by the long schism were almost entirely neutralized by a quarrel with his erstwhile supporter, [[Louis VII of France]] over the candidate for [[archbishop of Bourges]], in the course of which that kingdom was laid under an [[interdict]] to press for the papal candidate,{{sfn|Montaubin|2016|p=147}} and by a struggle with the town of [[Tivoli, Italy|Tivoli]] in which he became involved. As a result, Roman factions that wished Tivoli annihilated took up arms against Innocent.

In 1143, as the pope lay dying, the [[Commune of Rome]], to resist papal power, began deliberations that officially reinstated the [[Roman Senate]] the following year.{{sfn|Cotts|2012|p=31}} The pope was interred in a [[Porphyry (geology)|porphyry]] sarcophagus that contemporary tradition asserted had been the Emperor [[Hadrian]]'s.
