Alberic III, Count of Tusculum (Person)

Alberic III, Count of Tusculum
977 AD - 1044 AD

  • Count of Tusculum, along with Galeria, Preneste, and Arce 1024 - 1044
  • brother of Popes Benedict VIII and John XIX
  • father of Pope Benedict IX

Alberic used the title of consul, dux et patricius Romanorum: "consul, duke, and patrician of the Romans." This signified his secular authority in Rome. He also bore the titular comes sacri palatii Lateranensis ("Count of the Sacred Lateran Palace"), which signified his ecclesiastical function in the papal curia. During the pontificate of his brother John XIX, he was made a senator, but he had to abandon this title for the aforemention consular dignity in order to avoid tensions with the Emperor Henry II. Alberic does not appear in sources after 1033, when he left the comital powers to his son the newly elected pope.
