A council or synod of some importance…
August 1087 CE
A council or synod of some importance is held in August at Benevento, which renews the excommunication of the antipope Clement III and the condemnation of lay investiture, proclaims a kind of crusade against the Saracens in northern Africa and anathematizes Hugh of Lyons and Richard, Abbot of Marseilles.
When the council has lasted three days, Victor becomes seriously ill and retires to Monte Cassino to die.
