GUALO, See also:CARDINAL (fl. 1216) , was sent to See also:England by See also:Pope See also:Innocent III. in 1216. He supported See also:John with all the See also:weight of papal authority. After John's See also:death he crowned the See also:infant See also:Henry III. and played an active See also:part in organizing resistance to the rebels led by See also:Louis of See also:France, afterwards See also:king Louis VIII. As representing the pope, the suzerain of Henry, he claimed the regency and actually divided the See also:chief See also:power with See also:William See also:Marshal, See also:earl of See also:Pembroke. He proclaimed a crusade against Louis and the See also:French, and, after the See also:peace of See also:Lambeth, he forced Louis to make a public and humiliating profession of penitence (1217). He punished the rebellious See also:clergy severely, and ruled the See also:church with an See also:absolute See also:hand till his departure from England in 1218. Gualo's See also:character has been severely criticized by See also:English writers; but his chief offence seems to have been that of representing unpopular papal claims.
