Who is Antipope Innocent III?

Innocent III was an antipope from 29 September 1179 to January 1180; original name Lando Di Sezze, was the last of four antipopes during the pontificate of Alexander III. A member of a family of German origin, he was a cardinal when elected on 29 Sept. 1179, by a faction opposing Alexander, who, in January 1180, relegated Innocent to the southern Italian abbey of SS. Trinità in La Cava, where he died.
