ANASTASIUS IV . was See also:pope from 1153 to 1154. He was a See also:Roman named See also:Conrad, son of See also:Benedictus, and at the See also:time of his See also:election, on the 9th of See also:July 1153, was See also:cardinal See also:bishop of Sabina. He had taken See also:part in the See also:double election of 113o, had been one of the most determined opponents of Anacletus II. and, when See also:Innocent II. fled to See also:France, had been See also:left behind as his See also:vicar in See also:Italy. During his See also:short pontificate, however, he played the part of a peacemaker; he came to terms with the See also:emperor See also:Frederick I. in the vexed question of the See also:appointment to the see of See also:Magdeburg and closed the See also:long See also:quarrel, which had raged through four pontificates, about the appointment of See also:William See also:Fitzherbert (d. 1154)—commonly known as St William of York—to the see of See also:York, by sending him the See also:pallium, in spite of the continued opposition of the powerful Cistercian See also:order.
