Notes from Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins - "During many
centuries prior to the formation of the unified Kingdom of Italy, when Italy was
divided into numerous independent papal and ducal states, the Popes held
temporal sovereignty over an area in central Italy comprising some 17,000 sq.
mi. (44,030 sq. km.) including the city of Rome. At the time of the general
unification of Italy under the Kingdom of Sardinia, 1861, the papal dominions
beyond Rome were acquired by that kingdom, diminishing the Pope's sovereignty to
Rome and its environs. In 1870, while France's opposition to papal dispossession
was neutralized by its was with Prussia, the Italian army seized weakly defended
Rome and made it the capital of Italy, thereby abrogating the last vestige of
papal temporal power. In 1871, the Italian Parliament enacted the Law of
Guarantees, which guaranteed a special status for the Vatican area, and
spiritual freedom and a generous income for the Pope. Pope Pius IX and his
successors adamantly refused to acknowledge the validity of these laws and
voluntarily "imprisoned" themselves in the Vatican. The impasse
between State and Church lasted until the signing of the Lateran Treaty, Feb.
11, 1929, by which Italy recognized the sovereignty and independence of the new
Vatican City state."
The following table is based on information in Allen G. Berman's reference
"Papal Coins", 1991, Attic Books Ltd., 255 pages with 77 plates,
information from Wikipedia
and the official Vatican website.
The term "Antipope"
is given to a person who claims to be Pope, against the recognition of the
person named by the Roman Catholic Church as Pope. During some periods in
history, it is not always clear who is the recognized Pope and who is the
Antipope. Even in the Annuario Pontificio, Pope Leo VIII (963-965) and Pope
Sylvester III (1045) are noted as uncertain. Note that people claiming to be
Pope, but with few followers (such as the modern Sedevacantists) are not
included in this list. The last "official" Antipope was Felix V
(1439-1449).
