Giordano Pierleoni

leader of the Commune of Rome

1100 CE to 1165 CE

Giordano (or Jordan) Pierleoni (in contemporary Latin, Jordanus filius Petrus Leonis) is the son of the Consul Pier Leoni and therefore brother of Antipope Anacletus II and leader of the Commune of Rome which the people set up in 1143.

According to Gregorovius, he was a "maverick" in the great Pierleoni family, for he continued to oppose the papacy after Anacletus' death, when the rest of his clan had returned to support of Rome.
